Yodo-Gawa Bridge, Railway bridge in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan
The Yodo-Gawa Bridge spans 162.4 meters across the Uji River, featuring a two-line under-slung Pratt truss design with steel components from Bethlehem Steel.
Built in 1928 by Nara Electric Railway, the bridge construction was accelerated to meet the schedule of the Imperial Enthronement Ceremony happening in May that year.
The structure earned recognition as a tangible cultural asset of Japan in 2000, representing early 20th-century railway engineering achievements in the Kansai region.
The bridge continues to serve the Kintetsu Kyoto Line, carrying modern transit vehicles while maintaining its structural integrity through regular maintenance and repairs.
This single-span truss bridge holds the record for the longest span of its type in Japan, measuring 164.59 meters between supports.
