Jōan Bridge, Steel bridge in Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan.
The Jyouan-Bashi crosses the Tosabori River with a total length of 69.8 meters and a width of 12.25 meters, featuring a longest span of 29.7 meters.
Constructed in 1929, the bridge stands at the location of a former crossing point built by Edo-era lumber merchant Yodoya Joan, who contributed to Nakanoshima's development.
The bridge name preserves the legacy of Yodoya Joan, a prominent figure whose influence led to the naming of the surrounding area as Joan-machi during the Edo period.
Located near Higobashi Station on the Osaka Metro Yotsubashi Line and Nakanoshima Station on the Keihan Line, the bridge connects local traffic between districts.
The steel structure replaced a previous three-span cable bridge from 1921, marking the evolution of bridge engineering technology in early 20th century Japan.
