Higashi-Takasu Bridge, Steel plate girder bridge in Amagasaki, Japan.

The Higashi-Takasu Bridge stretches 46.8 meters across the Higashi-Hori Canal, connecting Takasu-cho and Otakasu-cho districts in Amagasaki Prefecture.

The original structure, built in 1956, was replaced by the current bascule bridge in 1966, which underwent repairs following the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake.

The bridge received recognition as a Civil Engineering Heritage site by the Japan Society of Civil Engineers in September 2023.

The bridge features a 16-meter movable section that lifts upward on the south side, allowing vessels to pass through the canal during scheduled times.

The control room and tower contain specialized equipment for operating the single-leaf bascule mechanism, enabling maritime traffic management through the canal.
