Rokkō Bridge, Road bridge in Namegata and Hokota, Japan.

The Rokkō Bridge stretches 415.3 meters across the Kasumigaura Lake, connecting the municipalities of Namegata and Hokota in Ibaraki Prefecture.

The first generation bridge opened in 1968, but after its partial collapse during the 2011 Eastern Japan Earthquake, a new structure was built and inaugurated in 2012.

The name Rokkō combines the initial characters of two former districts, Kashima and Namegata, reflecting the geographical heritage of the Ibaraki region.

The second-generation bridge features an expanded width of 11.5 meters with two lanes and pedestrian paths, resolving the previous traffic congestion issues.

The bridge structure incorporates a continuous non-composite plate girder spanning 170 meters across three sections, demonstrating modern engineering methods.
