Fushikiko Bridge, Road and arch bridge in Takaoka, Japan.
Fushikiko Bridge is a road bridge in Takaoka that spans the Oyabe River, connecting the port area of Fushiki with both riverbanks. It was built using steel box girders and prestressed concrete, with a width of about 11.7 meters to handle daily traffic and cargo movement.
Construction began in 1972 and the bridge opened in November 1974 to improve transportation for the Fushiki Port region. Its completion marked an important milestone in Takaoka's infrastructure development during that era.
The bridge reflects Japanese engineering excellence through its design principles, combining traditional arch construction methods with modern structural innovations.
The bridge is accessible daily and carries regular vehicle traffic from the port area. Access is straightforward from Takaoka city, making it easy to observe from nearby roads or pedestrian areas.
The structure combines two bridge types in one design: an arch configuration with box girder technology. This dual engineering approach reflects problem-solving methods used during its construction period.
