Biwajima-bridge, Steel and concrete bridge in Nagoya, Japan

The Biwajima Bridge extends across the Shonai River with a total length of 177.3 meters, connecting the western district of Nagoya with Kiyosu City.

Built in 1622 during the Edo period, the original wooden bridge structure consisted of two separate spans divided by a river island to facilitate trade routes.

The bridge location marks a former marketplace along the Minoji road where merchants gathered for centuries to exchange goods between Nagoya and surrounding regions.

Construction of a new bridge structure began in October 2021, with temporary passages installed to maintain traffic flow during the renovation period until 2030.

The bridge combines two distinct engineering styles: a Gerber steel girder system on the left bank and reinforced concrete girders on the right bank.
