Akita Bridge, Road bridge in Akita, Japan

Akita Bridge is a 583.6 m girder bridge on Akita Prefectural Route 56 (Akita Tenno Line) over the Omono River in Akita city, linking Shinya Okawamachi on the left bank with Ibaraki 5-chome on the right. The current second-generation span, completed on 22 November 2001, carries two traffic lanes with sidewalks on both sides.

The first Akita Bridge was completed on 20 November 1934, after the lowlands on both banks of the Omono River were reclaimed from 1926 to 1933 to carry its piers. The 1938 opening of the Omono River floodway made it the main route between central Akita and the Araya district, replacing the Ushū-Hama highway. Walkways were added on both sides in June 1976 as traffic grew.

The bridge's name comes from its role as the main crossing into Akita's city centre; the first bridge opened on 20 November 1934. Its predecessor was built by reclaiming lowland on both banks of the Omono between 1926 and 1933 to seat the piers. In 1976 footbridges were added on both sides as traffic grew.

The bridge carries two traffic lanes with sidewalks on both sides, linking Shin'ya Ōkawamachi on the left bank with Ibarajima 5-chōme on the right bank. It lies on Akita Prefectural Route 56, the Akita Tennō line, and congestion is heavier in the morning and evening. The current span is the second bridge on the site, completed on 22 November 2001.

The current bridge is the second on the site, completed on 22 November 2001; the first, finished in 1934, was 587.4 m long with a 7.5 m deck. Its predecessor's piers were set on lowland reclaimed from 1926 to 1933.
