Tokachi Ohashi Bridge

The Tokachi Ohashi Bridge extends 501 meters across the Tokachi River, featuring towers with single piers and four chamber box girders for structural support.

The construction of Tokachi Ohashi Bridge, completed in 1996, introduced new engineering methods to address regional challenges such as earthquakes and extreme temperature variations.

The bridge illumination system transforms the concrete structure into a nighttime landmark that local residents photograph throughout different seasons of the year.

The structure connects Otofuke Town with Obihiro City through National Route 241, providing essential transportation links for communities across the Tokachi region.

The bridge incorporates specialized box girder designs that prevent snow and ice accumulation during winter months, making it suitable for Hokkaido weather conditions.
