Sango Bridge, Steel bridge in Kitakami City, Japan

The steel bridge extends 254.6 meters across the Kitakami River with a width of 5.5 meters and features a lower chord cantilever truss design.

Originally built in 1908 as a wooden toll bridge by Tokijiro Takachita, the structure was replaced with the current steel version in 1933 for 200,000 yen.

The bridge name originates from Sango-dake mountain on the northern ridge of Kunimi Mountain, connecting local communities across the Kitakami River.

Visitors can reach the bridge by taking the Onimaru bus from Kitakami Station to the Sango Bridge stop, followed by a 10-minute walk.

A steel cable-stayed pedestrian bridge was added alongside the main structure in 1971, expanding crossing options for local residents.
