大浪橋, Arch bridge in Taishō-ku, Japan.
Description
The Taisho Bridge is an arch bridge spanning the Kizu River in Osaka, connecting the Taishō and Naniwa districts. Its steel-braced ribbed arch design allows the structure to cross the water without support pillars in the riverbed.
History
The bridge opened in 1937 and was built during a major infrastructure expansion in Osaka. It formed part of the city's second urban planning initiative of that era.
Culture
The name Onami combines the first characters of the two districts it connects, representing the bridge's role in unifying local communities.
Practical
The bridge is wider than originally designed, accommodating both pedestrian and vehicle traffic. You can walk across comfortably during the day while observing the river below.
Did you know?
The bridge was deliberately built without supports in the river to allow large ships to pass underneath. This made it the lowest downstream crossing point over the Kizu River in the area.
