Shimo-Yodogawa Bridge

The Shimo-Yodogawa Bridge is a railway bridge that spans 790 meters across the Yodo River, connecting Kita-ku and Nishiyodogawa-ku in Osaka. Built with steel framework, it carries both passenger trains and freight services daily across its length.

This railway bridge was completed in 1970 and marked an important moment in Osaka's post-war transportation expansion. The infrastructure enabled new connections between districts that were previously difficult to access.

This bridge forms an integral part of the Tōkaidō Main Line, which serves as a primary transportation artery connecting multiple regions across Japan.

The bridge is visible from trains that cross it daily, giving passengers views of the Yodo River below. It is best seen from the riverbanks or nearby paths that offer better perspectives of the structure.

The bridge's iron truss design and strategic position at coordinates 34.706975, 135.474003 make it a recognized element of Osaka's railway network.
