末広橋梁, Historic lifting railway bridge in Yokkaichi, Japan.

The Suehiro Bridge spans the Chitose Canal with a central section that raises vertically through cables supported by steel gate-shaped pillars.

Built in 1931 by engineer Utaro Yamamoto, the bridge served as a vital transportation link during the industrialization period of Yokkaichi Port.

The bridge earned recognition as Japan's first movable bridge to receive Important Cultural Property status in December 1998.

The bridge operates daily, lifting for ship passage in approximately 90 seconds and lowering in 120 seconds for train crossings.

Among 80 movable bridges constructed in Japan since the Meiji period, the Suehiro Bridge remains one of only three still operational.
