Ō-Aga Bridge, Transportation bridge in Niigata, Japan.

The Bandai Bridge extends 306.9 meters across the Shinano River with six reinforced concrete arches covered in granite siding.

Built in 1929 as the third version, this bridge replaced earlier wooden structures dating back to 1886, when it stood as Japan's longest bridge.

The bridge received designation as an Important Cultural Property in 2004, marking the second national highway bridge to gain this recognition after Tokyo's Nihonbashi.

Located between Furumachi and Honcho shopping districts, the bridge carries National Route 7 traffic with two lanes in each direction plus pedestrian walkways.

The bridge maintained its structural integrity during the 1964 Niigata earthquake, enabling critical aid delivery while other bridges sustained damage.
