Maruko Bridge, Road bridge in Ota, Japan.
The Maruko Bridge spans 405.6 meters across the Tama River, connecting Tokyo's Ota Ward with Nakahara Ward in Kawasaki City.
The initial bridge structure, completed in 1934, resulted from a joint funding effort between Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefectures to replace an ancient ferry crossing.
The bridge forms part of the Nakahara Kaido Street, a central transportation route linking the regions of Hiratsuka and Edo Shirogane since the 1960s.
The structure features two traffic lanes in each direction, complemented by 4-meter-wide pedestrian walkways and dedicated cycling paths on both sides.
In 2002, a seal nicknamed Tama-chan appeared near the northern end of the bridge, drawing substantial media attention and crowds to the location.
