The Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, a suspension bridge with a center span of 1991 m, was completed in 1998. The construction of this bridge depends on the development of several technologies. In this paper, features of these technologies are described as follows: (1) foundation construction in the deep, fast tidal current; (2) wind-resistant design for the tower and stiffening girders; (3) construction method avoiding disturbance of marine traffics; (4) modification of the bridge configuration after the Kobe earthquake.
