Owari Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Yatomi, Japan.

The Owari Bridge extends 878 meters across the Kiso River, connecting Yatomi City in Aichi Prefecture with Kuwana City in Mie Prefecture.

The construction of the bridge began in 1930 and concluded in 1933, replacing the former Futatsuna ferry service that operated in this location.

The bridge opening ceremony in November 1933 included traditional performances of kagura dances and rice cake distribution to mark this major infrastructure milestone.

The structure measures 7.5 meters in width and incorporates 14 cantilever truss spans, with the main span reaching 63.42 meters in length.

The bridge design combines different structural elements between its upper and lower sections, reflecting the engineering capabilities of early Showa period Japan.
