Senbonmatsu Bridge

The Senbonmatsu Bridge spans 323.5 meters across the Kizu River, featuring a double-spiral approach ramp on each bank and a main steel box girder structure.

The bridge opened in 1973 to connect industrial areas that previously relied on water transportation, taking its name from pine trees that lined the riverbanks during the Edo period.

Local residents refer to this structure as Megane Bridge due to its distinctive double-spiral shape that resembles eyeglasses when viewed from above.

The bridge maintains a clearance of 33 meters above water level and includes vehicle lanes, pedestrian walkways, and bus routes connecting Nishinari and Taisho districts.

Navigation systems display an unusual rotating pattern as vehicles traverse the spiral ramps, which make three complete turns to reach the main span.
