Shiodome Bridge, Road bridge in Yashio, Japan
Shiodome Bridge is a road bridge in Saitama Prefecture that crosses the Naka River to connect the areas of Ōze and Koshinden. Measuring approximately 135.5 meters in length, it carries traffic between these neighboring regions.
This bridge was built to support the growing connection between Ōze and Koshinden during the area's urban expansion. It became part of the transportation network that brought these local communities closer together over time.
The bridge exemplifies Japanese engineering principles that prioritize structural efficiency while maintaining connections between neighboring communities.
The bridge connects two road routes and experiences varying traffic levels depending on the time of day. Pedestrians and cyclists should use caution during peak hours when vehicle traffic is heaviest.
The structure stands between two other notable crossings: the Iizuka Bridge downstream and the Shin-Nakagawa Bridge upstream.
