Hirose Bridge, Girder bridge in Sendai, Japan.
The Hirose Bridge spans 127 meters in length and 22 meters in width, constructed with reinforced concrete to connect the Kawaramachi and Nagamachi districts.
Initially built in 1608 as Nagamachi Bridge, the structure underwent major reconstruction in 1909, becoming Japan's first reinforced concrete girder bridge.
The bridge contains the Hashihimemyo Shrine, commemorating a local woman who, according to tradition, sacrificed herself during the original construction.
Semi-circle balconies installed on the sidewalks provide observation points for visitors to view the Hirose River flowing beneath the structure.
The bridge formed part of the Oshu Kaido, a historical road where samurai processions traveled between Tohoku and Edo during the feudal period.
