A three-way bridge (or tri-bridge) is a bridge with three distinct and separate spans, where one end of each span meets at a common point near the centre of the bridge. Unlike other bridges which have two entry-exit points, three-way bridges have three entry-exit points. For this reason, three-way bridges are not to be confused with commonly-found road bridges which carry vehicles in one direction from one entry point, and then bifurcate into two other one-way bridges.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Kuriositas )〕 Three-way bridges are located throughout the world, though they are rare. Some are as small as a footbridge, while others are multi-lane roadways. Three-way bridges are often referred to as "T-bridges" or "Y-bridges", due to their shape when viewed from above. Three cities in Michigan each have a three-way bridge named "The Tridge", combining "tri" and "bridge".〔 The unique shape of a three-way bridge makes it easy to identify from an airplane. Amelia Earhart described Zanesville, Ohio as "the most recognizable city in the country" because of its Y-shaped bridge,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Zanesville Muskingum County Conventions & Visitor's Bureau )〕 and the pilots of ''Enola Gay'' aimed for Hiroshima's T-shaped Aioi Bridge when they dropped the atom bomb.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Hiroshima & Nagasaki Remembered )〕 ==Locations and features== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Three-way bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
