Japan–Palau Friendship Bridge (K-B Bridge)
K-B Bridge
A cable-stayed bridge linking Koror Island with the main island of Babeldaob. The strait views and sunsets from the bridge and the old-bridge memorial at its end make great photos.
The Koror–Babeldaob Bridge (K-B Bridge) is the only land link between Koror, the main island, and the airport. The original bridge was completed in 1977 but collapsed suddenly in 1996, causing water and power outages across the country. The current cable-stayed bridge was built with Japanese aid and opened to traffic in 2002, which is why it is also called the “Japan–Palau Friendship Bridge.” The strait below has emerald-green water, and the best place to photograph the sunset is from the walkway on the bridge or from the memorial to the old bridge at its end. Everyone traveling to or from the airport passes it, so no special arrangement is needed.
