紀ノ川大橋, Steel bridge in Wakayama, Japan.
The Kinokawa Bridge is a steel structure spanning approximately 750 meters across the Kino River to connect the northern and southern districts of Wakayama City. The roadway measures 13 meters wide and supports steady traffic flow over the water.
The bridge was built in 1967 as part of the National Route 26 Bypass project to handle through traffic in the region. Control of the structure passed to a prefectural road authority in 2017.
The bridge connects two district areas and serves as a daily passage for people moving between residential zones and business districts in the city. It has become a routine part of how residents navigate their daily routines.
The bridge accommodates cars and smaller vehicles well and crosses relatively smoothly under normal conditions. Traffic tends to increase during morning and evening peak hours.
Several bridges in the same area share similar naming, which can cause confusion when asking for directions to this specific crossing. Using the precise name helps identify the correct structure.
