A little more perspective
The bridge operator describes the tower height as about 300 meters. Japan’s transport ministry uses the same rounded height and explicitly places the starting reference at the sea surface. I preserve that approximation rather than introducing unsupported decimal precision.
The image isolates one tower with a short deck section for orientation. Long suspension spans, seabed foundations and the changing clearance beneath the roadway are separate dimensions. Sea level is the declared comparison datum, not the bottom of the underwater pier.
