Zao-bashi, Vehicular bridge in Nagaoka, Japan.
The steel and concrete structure of Zao-bashi spans 800 meters across the Shinano River, connecting the eastern and western sections of Nagaoka.
The bridge received its current name in 1691 under Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, replacing previous names including Atarashi-bashi, Aioi-bashi, and Imoarai-bashi.
The bridge stands as a central element of Nagaoka's infrastructure, facilitating movement between residential areas and the commercial district.
Routes 352 and 403 intersect at Zao-bashi, providing essential transportation links for both local traffic and regional travelers through Niigata Prefecture.
The bridge's construction in 1994 incorporated modern engineering techniques, positioning it between the older Nagaoka Bridge downstream and Shinanogawa Bridge upstream.
