Gokō Bridge, Road bridge in Yawata, Japan.
The Goko Bridge extends 356.5 meters across the Kizu-gawa River, connecting Kumiyama-cho district with Yawata City through eight wooden sections.
The construction of Goko Bridge in 1953 replaced the previous river ferry service that transported people between Kumiyama-cho and Yawata City.
Local residents demonstrated their commitment to preservation when 12,000 people signed a petition to maintain the bridge despite recommendations for its removal.
Metal cables secure each section of the bridge, allowing individual segments to float during floods and return to position when water levels decrease.
The structure earned the name Nagare-bashi due to its design that permits sections to be carried away by floodwaters rather than sustaining structural damage.
