大浪橋

The Onami Bridge spans 81.5 meters across the Kizu River, featuring a steel-braced ribbed arch design that connects Taishō and Naniwa districts.

The bridge opened in March 1937 as part of Osaka's second urban planning initiative, reflecting the city's infrastructure expansion during the pre-war period.

The name Onami combines the first characters of the two districts it connects, representing the bridge's role in unifying local communities.

The bridge width expanded from 19.4 to 21.7 meters to accommodate increased pedestrian traffic, making it accessible for both vehicles and walkers.

The bridge structure eliminates support pillars to allow large ships passage underneath, marking it as the lowest downstream bridge over the Kizu River.
