The Kurushima-Kaikyō Bridge (来島海峡大橋, Kurushima Kaikyō Ō-hashi), which connects Oshima and Mashima islands in Japan, is the world's longest suspension bridge structure [1]. The bridge is part of the bigger Honshū-Shikoku Bridge Project connecting Honshū and Shikoku islands.
The Kurushima-Kaikyō Bridge consists of three successive suspension bridges with six towers and four anchorages. The bridge's total length of 4,015 metres (13,173 ft), is just a little longer than the total length of the two tower Akashi-Kaikyō Bridge, which is 3,911 metres (12,831 ft) meters.
