message: The article states just that the toll is high.  Can someone find out the actual toll amount?  I'm just curious...

replies: text: Now the toll is stated in the infobox as "2,300 Yen or US$20".  I've never crossed the bridge so I wouldn't know for sure but I suspect it highly unlikely that the toll booths would accept US dollars.  The USD figure should either be noted as a conversion or just deleted (unless they do actually accept USD afterall). JЇѦρ 00:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

message: this article says the total bridge length and that its the longest suspension bridge in the world. my point is that when I look at the "great belt fixed link" article, it says the great belt is the second longest in the world but it says, if you look at the numbers, that the great belt is the longest and the akashi-kaikyo is the second longest--- please check facts! im doing a report on the Great Belt Fixed Link and I need the information!

replies: text: The size and therefore the ranking of suspension bridges are based on the length of the main span (the distance between the 2 towers), not the total length.  The Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge has a main span of 1991 meters, while the Great Belt Fixed Link has a main span of 1,624 meters.  Hope that helps.  VerruckteDan 14:48, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

message: "Akashi" is the name of the strait between Honshu and Awaji.  "Kaikyo" simply means "strait".  Thus, "Akashi Kaikyo" is "Akashi Strait".  The name is definitely not connecting endpoints of Akashi and Kaikyo.  
The English convention, the bridge name is multi-word but refers to a single geographical feature, then there is no hyphen, for example, "Golden Gate Bridge", "Tacoma Narrows Bridge", "Chesapeake Bay Bridge".  If the bridge name is the name of its two endpoints, then there is a hyphen, for example: Astoria-Megler Bridge, Rosario-Victoria Bridge.  For more example, see
