The total cost occurred for this project is more than USD 8 Billion. Even though this is a very efficient engineering project, if something goes wrong, the damage will be in large numbers and they are always trying to stop happening that. To do so they have taken various precautions.

Japanese engineers always do surveys and routine inspections of the bridge to provide maximum security and assurance to the users of this bridge. If you wish to visit Japan, I suggest you should visit this place and you can enjoy the unexplainable beauty while you traveling by train or a vehicle with your own eyes and you can feel that.
