Tanaka Bridge

Tanaka Bridge spans the Watarase River and connects different sections of Ashikaga through Japan National Route 293 and local prefectural roads. The structure carries both vehicular traffic and foot traffic throughout each day.

The bridge was constructed to improve transportation connections across Ashikaga and link local communities more effectively. It became part of the city's main road network and has served this function since its completion.

The bridge serves as a gathering point for residents during local festivals, reinforcing the social fabric of the Ashikaga community.

The bridge is accessible to vehicles and pedestrians during daylight hours and sits just north of Ashikaga's central areas. Crossing is possible in both directions, and the structure is regularly maintained to remain safe for all users.

The bridge sits positioned between two other river crossings: the Iwai Bridge downstream and the Naka Bridge upstream. Together, these three structures create a closely-spaced network of passage points across the Watarase River.
