Kogane Over Bridge, Road bridge in Nagoya, Japan.
Kogane Over Bridge is a road overpass in Nagoya that crosses above Kogane Dori in the Nakamura district. The structure uses reinforced concrete and spans across the street below to link different parts of the city.
The bridge was built during the 1980s as part of Nagoya's expanding transport network. Its engineering quality earned recognition from the Japan Society of Civil Engineers through a major award.
The name comes from Kogane Dori, a major street running through this part of the city. The bridge sits as part of how the neighborhood connects different districts through everyday infrastructure.
The bridge sits near Nagoya Station and functions as a key route through the central part of the city. The area is easy to reach by public transport and gets busy during rush hours.
The bridge is part of a larger system of overpasses that made Nagoya a model for traffic solutions in densely built cities during the 1980s. This network demonstrates how Japan solved congestion problems by building upward rather than tearing down neighborhoods.
