廣島大橋, Steel bridge in Hiroshima, Japan.
Hiroshima Bridge is a steel structure that spans across Hiroshima Bay with a wide central opening to allow ships to pass underneath. The bridge connects different parts of the city and serves as a major transportation link in the regional road network.
The bridge was built during Hiroshima's post-war reconstruction period and stands as a symbol of the city's rebuilding efforts. It represents the infrastructure development that followed wartime devastation.
The waters beneath the bridge support the local fishing industry, where fishermen maintain traditional methods of cultivating oysters and seaweed.
Visitors can cross the bridge on foot or by car while enjoying views of Hiroshima Bay. The best spot for photos is typically near the middle section, where you can take in the water and surroundings.
During construction, engineers employed a 2,000-ton floating crane, the largest worldwide at that time, to position the open caisson foundation.
