Kouhei Bridge

The Kouhei Bridge stretches across the Kyobashi River, connecting both sides of the waterway with its steel and concrete construction in central Hiroshima.

The bridge survived the 1945 atomic bombing with minimal damage and became a crucial escape route for survivors seeking safety across the river.

The structure represents Japanese engineering expertise, incorporating traditional design elements while maintaining modern functionality for daily transportation needs.

Pedestrians and vehicles can access the bridge throughout the day, providing an essential connection between residential areas and commercial districts.

The bridge holds preserved sections of its original floor girder at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum as evidence of its wartime endurance.
