Aiau Bridge

Aiau Bridge crosses the Dōtonbori River in Osaka and connects neighborhoods through its steel construction. The structure measures 42 meters in length and 15 meters in width, serving both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

The bridge was originally built in the 1680s and underwent multiple reconstructions and modernizations. Its current form was completed in 1962.

The bridge forms part of the 50 bridges in Naniwa collection, representing the engineering heritage of Osaka's waterway infrastructure development.

The bridge accommodates traffic in both directions and provides direct access between neighboring areas. It sits conveniently positioned between two other major river crossings.

Located at coordinates 34.66906N and 135.50428E, the bridge features a specific girder design that maximizes structural efficiency for its span.
