Shin-Ōhashi Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Nihonbashi-Hamacho, Japan
The Shin-Ohashi Bridge spans the Sumida River with yellow main towers, white railings, and connects Nihonbashi-Hamacho with Shin-Ohashi districts in Tokyo.
Built in 1694 as the third bridge across the Sumida River, the original wooden structure was commissioned by Shogun Tsunayoshi following his mother's recommendation.
The bridge appears in Hiroshige's masterwork 'Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge and Atake', which later influenced Vincent van Gogh's paintings.
The current steel cable-stayed bridge, constructed in 1977, measures 173 meters in length and maintains vehicle weight restrictions for safety purposes.
During the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, the bridge remained intact while other Sumida River bridges burned, saving numerous lives of evacuating residents.
