Hama Nakatsu Bridge, Truss bridge in Kita-ku, Japan.

The Hama Nakatsu Bridge stretches across 22.434 meters with a width of 4.5 meters, featuring a main girder manufactured by the Darlington Iron Company.

Built in 1815, the bridge demonstrates the early engineering capabilities and stands as one of the remaining structures from the beginning of the 19th century.

The bridge represents the technological exchange between British engineering expertise and Japanese infrastructure development during the Meiji period's modernization efforts.

Located within walking distance from Nakatsu station on the Hankyu railway line, the bridge serves both vehicles and pedestrians crossing the waterway.

The main girder, measuring 70 feet in length, was part of a larger shipment of 78 girders imported from England to connect Osaka and Kobe.
