Japan Palau Friendship Bridge
Replaced the former K-B (Koror-Babeldaob) Bridge which collapsed on September 16,1996. The collapse severes water and power to the island of Koror. The only connection to the airport located on Babeldaob was via ferry service across the channel until a temporary floating bridge, donated by the US, was installed in 1998. As the Palau government lacked sufficient funds to rebuild immediately, a new bridge to provide a steady transportation system was constructed with Japanese Grant Aid in ODA. Its construction began in 1997 by Kajima Corporation, a Japanese construction company, and was completed in December, 2001. It was named "Japan-Palau Friendship Bridge" on its opening ceremony on January 11, 2002
