Myōdai Bridge

Myōdai Bridge is a girder structure spanning the Oto River in Okazaki, carrying traffic between local neighborhoods on either side. The crossing serves as a key passage for the regional road network connecting surrounding districts.

The bridge was completed in 1937 as part of Japan's infrastructure development during that era. Its construction reflected the period's focus on expanding transportation networks across the country.

The bridge connects to Myōdaiji Town, reflecting the traditional Japanese practice of naming structures according to their surrounding districts.

The bridge can be accessed as part of the regular regional road and serves everyday traffic crossing needs. It functions as a standard transportation infrastructure without special visitor facilities or access restrictions.

The engineering design incorporates mid-twentieth century Japanese civil engineering principles, demonstrating the period's technical capabilities in bridge construction.
