Albuquerque Bridge is a bridge located in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It is named after Albuquerque, New Mexico, a sister city of Sasebo. The bridge connects Urban Sasebo to Sasebo City Park and Nimitz Park,[2] the latter of which is owned by the United Service Organisations[3] (USO), a charitable organisation which provides entertainment and contact to their family for the US military.

Etymology

Albuquerque Bridge was named on November 1, 1966,[4] the same day Albuquerque and Sasebo became sister cities.[5] It was named this way to symbolise a friendship between the two cities, as well as Japan and the United States.[4]
