Yodogawa Bridge

The Yodogawa Bridge extends over 610 meters across the river, featuring a steel construction with spans reaching 34 meters in length and 8.5 meters in width.

The Ministry of Railways constructed this transportation link in March 1925, establishing a vital connection for freight movement between Suita and the eastern regions of Osaka.

The bridge serves as a central point for railway enthusiasts and photographers who gather to document the infrastructure and passing trains throughout different seasons.

Following modifications in 2010, the bridge transitioned from a single track with pedestrian access to dual tracks, enhancing the Osaka Higashi Line passenger service capacity.

The structure incorporates specialized engineering to accommodate freight trains merging with the Tokaido Main Line through a specifically designed wye junction near Higashi-Yodogawa Station.
