Shōkyū Bridge

Shōkyū Bridge crosses the Katsura River and connects different sections of Minami-ku using steel and concrete construction. The structure follows a straightforward design typical of Japanese transportation infrastructure built in the 2000s.

The bridge opened in 2008 and provided a direct crossing over the river where none previously existed. Its completion significantly improved traffic connections in the developing area.

The bridge represents contemporary Japanese engineering methods, incorporating design elements that reflect the technical precision of modern infrastructure development.

The crossing is a key traffic junction for vehicles traveling between different areas of Minami-ku. Visitors can walk or drive across it, with a stable sidewalk provided for pedestrians.

Located at coordinates 34.957639, 135.727889, the bridge forms an essential component of the local road network, facilitating movement across the Katsura River.
