Chosei Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Nagaoka, Japan.
The Chosei Bridge extends 850 meters across the Shinano River, featuring a Gerber truss design with 13 spans and a dedicated pedestrian walkway.
Built in 1937 as the third iteration, the bridge replaced earlier wooden structures that had been destroyed by floods in the Shinano River.
The bridge serves as a central location for the Nagaoka Matsuri Festival, where fireworks displays illuminate the night sky every August.
Located three minutes by bus from JR Nagaoka Station, the bridge connects eastern and western parts of the city across the Shinano River.
The bridge maintains its original Showa-period engineering features, earning recognition from the Japan Society of Civil Engineers as heritage infrastructure.
