On the Earthquake, it occured on Jan. 17, 1995, and the "towers were completed, cable strands had been placed " but the entire span hadn't been placed according to "Civil Engineering, Feb. 1998," Also, according to the ones building the bridge, Matsuo Builders, , the bridge moved 0.8m, not 1.0m.

Wikipedia states that: > Actual construction did not begin until May 1988 and the bridge was opened for traffic on April 5, 1998. So we can only assume that the earthquake did indeed happen during construction. Good point Parker. Wikipedia states that:

The bridge was completed in 1998, yet was stretched one meter in 1995? Did the earthquake occur late enough during construction to cause the stretch but early enough to happen three years before opening day? Or does Wikipedia have the dates wrong? I’m confused.
