Ota Bridge, Warren truss steel bridge in Minoh Kamo, Japan

The Ota Bridge spans across the Kiso River, connecting the cities of Minoh Kamo and Kani through a steel structure built with Warren truss engineering.

Completed in 1926, this bridge replaced the traditional ferry system at the Ota crossing point along the Nakasendo route between Edo and Kyoto.

The Japan Society of Civil Engineers recognized Ota Bridge as a selected civil engineering heritage site in 2011 for its structural importance.

The bridge underwent seismic reinforcement works and received a side road addition in 2008 to accommodate modern traffic requirements.

Stone pavements from the original ferry landing sites remain on both riverbanks, preserving physical evidence of transportation methods before the bridge.
