Hatatekura Bridge, Girder bridge in Kita-ku and Nishi-ku, Japan.
Hatatekura Bridge is a steel and concrete girder bridge that carries traffic across the waterway between Kita-ku and Nishi-ku. The structure spans approximately 112 meters in length and 24 meters in width, designed to handle both vehicles and pedestrians.
Construction of the bridge was completed in 1921, representing an important infrastructure development for the growing city. The project significantly improved connections between the two districts and supported their development at that time.
The bridge represents early 20th-century Japanese engineering methods while facilitating daily interactions between communities on both sides of the structure.
The bridge is open daily for traffic between the two districts and is accessible on foot or by vehicle. Expect normal traffic conditions, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when crossing.
The bridge incorporates specific design elements to withstand seismic activities common in Japan while maintaining structural integrity.
