Atago Great Bridge

Atago Great Bridge spans the Hirose River as a major section of Japan National Route 4, linking multiple neighborhoods across Sendai. The structure carries multiple lanes of traffic and accommodates pedestrians moving through the city.

The bridge was completed in 1975 as part of Sendai's expansion of its transportation network. It represented a solution to growing traffic needs and improved connectivity between neighborhoods on both sides of the Hirose River.

The structure represents Japanese engineering precision through its girder design, which became standard for major road bridges throughout Japan.

Crossing the bridge provides a clear view of the river and surrounding cityscape below. Pedestrians and cyclists have designated pathways separated from vehicle traffic, making the passage safe and straightforward.

The bridge stands at coordinates 38.246833° latitude and 140.879694° longitude, functioning as a central transportation artery in Miyagi Prefecture.
