Niigata Ōzeki, Concrete bridge in Niigata, Japan.

The Niigata Ōzeki bridge spans across the Shinano River, incorporating six large arches and featuring granite siding on its reinforced concrete structure.

Following its construction in 1929, the bridge demonstrated exceptional stability during the 1964 Niigata earthquake while surrounding structures experienced substantial damage.

The bridge connects the traditional Furumachi district to the modern commercial areas, functioning as a central point for the annual Niigata Festival celebrations.

Located 15 minutes from Niigata Station, the bridge accommodates two traffic lanes in each direction and measures 306.9 meters in length.

The structure received designation as a National Important Cultural Property in 2004, marking its 75th anniversary with extensive restoration work.
