Aikawa Bridge

Aikawa Bridge crosses the Nagara River and links the districts of Akemi-Choya and Kano in Gifu Prefecture. It is a modern crossing with multiple lanes that carries a major traffic route through the region.

The original structure was built in 1968 as a steel suspension bridge with limited width. A newer crossing with expanded capacity was later constructed to meet growing traffic demands.

The bridge serves as a key crossing for local inhabitants and shows how much the community relies on river passages for moving through daily life. It shapes the pattern of how people travel between the two districts on either side.

Driving across the bridge during peak hours requires attention to traffic restrictions that apply at certain times. It is wise to avoid rush times in the morning and evening if you wish to travel faster.

Certain turning directions are not allowed during morning and evening peak traffic times. This rule helps manage the flow in the busiest hours.
