近江大橋, Road bridge in Shiga Prefecture, Japan
The Oumi Bridge spans Lake Biwa, connecting the cities of Otsu and Kusatsu with a length of 1,290 meters over water.
The bridge first opened on September 26, 1974, operating as a toll road until December 2013, when it became free for all vehicles.
The bridge serves as a vital connection point between the eastern and western shores of Lake Biwa, facilitating regional exchanges and commerce.
Four traffic lanes accommodate an average of 32,600 vehicles daily, while a dedicated path allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross Lake Biwa.
Solar panels installed along the bridge structure generate electricity for road facilities, making it an energy-efficient transportation infrastructure.
