河西橋, Pedestrian bridge in Wakayama, Japan
The Kasei Bridge extends 478 meters across the Kino River, connecting the Nishikuramae and Kitajima districts of Wakayama City.
Originally constructed in 1914 as a railway bridge for the Kada Light Railway, the structure featured German-made girders and brick pillars filled with concrete.
The bridge transformation from rail to pedestrian use reflects the evolving transportation needs of Wakayama's residents throughout the 20th century.
The structure currently serves as a dedicated pathway for pedestrians and two-wheeled vehicles, providing a direct route between the central districts of Wakayama City.
The bridge survived multiple natural disasters until 1965, when Typhoon No. 24 caused the loss of two sections of its girders.
