平成大橋

The Heisei Ohashi Bridge spans across the Shinano River, connecting the Tori-yano district in Chuo Ward with the Yamada district in Nishi Ward.

Built in 1993 to replace the Teiseki Bridge from 1957, this structure features a continuous box girder design with a maximum span length of 62.7 meters.

The bridge received its name through a public naming contest, reflecting the Heisei period of Japanese history when it was constructed.

The four-lane bridge extends 289.8 meters in length and 23.8 meters in width, incorporating dedicated paths for cyclists and pedestrians.

During the 1964 Niigata earthquake, its predecessor, the Teiseki Bridge, remained intact and served as a vital route for delivering emergency supplies.
