渡边桥, Steel bridge in Kita-ku, Osaka, Japan
The Watanabe Bridge crosses the Dojima River and connects several neighborhoods of Osaka with a steel structure. The span carries the Yotsubashi Suji road, allowing traffic to flow through the city's central districts.
The bridge was built in 1966 during a period of rapid urban expansion in Osaka. It was part of Japan's post-war infrastructure push that transformed the city's transportation system.
The bridge bears the name Watanabe no Tsu, reflecting Japanese naming traditions that connect infrastructure to local historical references.
The bridge is easily accessible on foot and provides clear paths for pedestrians alongside vehicle traffic. From here you can reach the nearby Watanabebashi Station on the Keihan Nakanoshima Line.
Located between Nakanoshima Garden Bridge and Tamino Bridge, this crossing point serves as a central node for Osaka's river transportation network.
