肘折希望大橋, Steel bridge in Okura, Japan
The Hijiori Hope Bridge spans 240 meters across the mountainous terrain, featuring an S-shaped design with steel frame construction and multi-level structure.
The bridge was constructed in response to a landslide in April 2012 that disrupted road access to Hijiori Onsen, with construction completed in November 2013.
The bridge's name plates incorporate organic LED panels with handwritten characters by both the prefecture governor and local schoolchildren.
The structure reduces travel time between Okura village center and the hot springs area by 10 to 15 minutes, with a width varying from 6 to 8.25 meters.
The vermillion railings of the bridge connect to the spiritual path of Dewa Sanzan mountains and represent local products like cherries, safflowers, and tomatoes.
