The design and construction technology of UFC bridges in Japan has been advancing in recent 5 years. This paper presents representative recent 3 projects of UFC structures that have been designed and constructed in Japan as well as the innovative technologies that have been applied step by step through the verification due to the fundamental experiments or accumulated construction know-how. First one is Toyota Footbridge that was applied for the first time the dry joint technology. Second one is a 40 m span monorail girder bridge that may be the longest span girder made of concrete. The last project is the mass production of UFC slabs in Haneda Runway D that must be the largest single project in the world in application of UFC.
