The Kawazu-Nanadaru Loop Bridge, in Japan, is an example of how to build a bridge from one mountainside to another when the sides of the mountain are so steep that it is not possible to build a road at the same elevation on both sides.

The Norikura Skyline Road is apparently the highest public road in the whole of Japan and it is usually closed for more than half the year due to extremely heavy snowfall in the higher parts of the mountains.
