Bandō Ōhashi Bridge

Bandō Ōhashi Bridge is a road bridge that stretches across the Tone River between Honjo in Saitama Prefecture and Isesaki in Gunma Prefecture. It serves as a key traffic route along Japan National Route 462, connecting the two neighboring prefectures with a vital crossing point.

Construction of the bridge began in 1997 and was completed in 2004, replacing an older structure that had served the area. This renewal created a more reliable crossing for the expanding traffic between the two prefectures.

The bridge design incorporates modern Japanese engineering principles while maintaining the balance between urban development and regional transportation requirements.

The bridge is open to traffic in both directions and accommodates thousands of vehicles daily. Visitors crossing it should expect standard traffic conditions, particularly during peak hours.

The bridge structure features specific engineering elements that allow it to withstand various weather conditions while maintaining steady traffic flow throughout the year.
