Akigase Bridge, Road bridge in Sakura-ku, Japan

The Akigase Bridge crosses the Arakawa River and Kamo River drainage channel, connecting Sakura Ward with Shiki City through its 1,045-meter steel construction.

Initially built as a wooden submersible bridge in 1908, the structure underwent significant reconstruction in 1938 before the current steel bridge opened in 1982.

The bridge connects to areas featuring the Sakurasou Park and the Tajima-ga-hara Primrose Colony, designated as a Special Natural Monument of Japan.

The structure serves as a vital transportation link between Shiki City and Saitama City, with a dedicated pedestrian pathway on its upstream side.

During flooding periods, specific sections of the bridge railing can be adjusted where it intersects with the surrounding embankment system.
