Sōsei Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Chuo-ku, Japan.

The Sōsei Bridge features a combination of traditional stonework and steel frame engineering, spanning the Sōsei River in central Sapporo.

Constructed in 1869 during the Meiji period, this bridge represents early modern civil engineering practices that emerged as Japan entered an era of rapid industrialization.

The bridge received recognition from the Japan Society of Civil Engineers for its technical excellence and serves as a testament to infrastructure development.

Located near Odori Park and Nijo Fish Market, the bridge connects pedestrians and vehicles across different sections of Sapporo's central district.

The structure maintains its original stone arch design while incorporating modern safety standards through careful preservation and renovation efforts.
