打越橋, Steel bridge in Yokohama, Japan.
The Uchikoshi Bridge is a steel structure in central Yokohama distinguished by its striking red paint. It spans approximately 38 meters and serves as a functional pedestrian and vehicle crossing with a width of about 8 meters.
The bridge was built in 1928 as part of reconstruction efforts following the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. It served as a crucial evacuation route during emergencies and represents the city's response to rebuild after disaster.
The bridge stands near several educational institutions including Yokohama Women's Academy and represents a significant piece of local infrastructure.
You can reach the bridge easily from nearby subway and railway stations in the area. The best time to cross is during daylight hours when the structure is fully visible and traffic conditions are normal.
The bridge was included in a 1990 selection of 100 notable bridges in Kanagawa Prefecture. It later received official designation as a Yokohama City Historic Building in 2003.
