Tanise Footbridge
谷瀬の吊り橋
Totsukawa, Nara, Japan
(177) feet high / 54 meters high
974 foot span / 297 meter span
1954
The Tanise Footbridge opened in 1954 as the longest span footbridge in the world with a tower to tower distance of 297 meters. At the time the footbridge was also one of the highest in Japan at 54 meters. Sometimes referred to as the Tanize Bridge, the span has a second set of cables midway between the top cables and the deck. It is unclear why the engineers used this double arrangement but it looks like the lower cable was part of the original span with a sag that was too shallow so higher cables and new towers were added at a later date to make the deck less bouncy.
The entire area has become a popular tourist attraction with camping available along the river below the north side of the bridge.
