Yokogawa Bridge, Steel bridge in Nishi Ward, Hiroshima, Japan
The Yokogawa Bridge spans the Tenma River with a length of 61.5 meters and a width of 13 meters, featuring distinctive arch elements and bronze reliefs.
During the atomic bombing of August 6, 1945, the bridge sustained minor damage but remained standing, serving as a crucial evacuation route for survivors.
The current bridge design, completed in 1983, incorporates elements reflecting local history, including railings and pillars inspired by early Showa period architecture.
The bridge connects to multiple transportation options, with Yokogawa Station nearby and several bus routes passing through the surrounding streets.
After surviving both the atomic bombing and subsequent typhoons in 1945, this bridge became the only passage to central Hiroshima for a period.
