Albuquerque Bridge is a bridge located in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. It is named after Albuquerque, New Mexico, a sister city of Sasebo.[2] [1] The bridge connects Urban Sasebo to Sasebo City Park and Nimitz Park,[3] the latter of which is owned by the United Service Organisations[4] (USO), a charitable organisation which provides entertainment and contact to their family for the US military.
Albuquerque Bridge was named on November 1, 1966,[5] the same day Albuquerque and Sasebo became sister cities.[6] It was named this way to symbolise a friendship between the two cities, as well as Japan and the United States.[5]
