Nagahama Bridge, Movable bridge in Ozu City, Japan.

The Nagahama Bridge spans across the Hijikawa River mouth in Ozu City, featuring a red-painted steel structure with a total length of 232.3 meters.

Built in 1935, the Nagahama Bridge represents the oldest operational road movable bridge in Japan, initially constructed to accommodate maritime traffic.

The structure received recognition as an Important Cultural Property in 2014, representing a significant example of Japan's industrial heritage preservation.

The bridge opens three times on weekends: Saturdays and holidays at 11:00, Sundays at 11:24 and 13:00, with a free parking area for 14 vehicles.

The bridge's lifting mechanism operates with an 82-ton counterweight to raise an 18-meter section, allowing vessels to pass underneath.
