Omiodori Bridge, Road bridge in Ritto, Japan

The Omiodori Bridge spans 555 meters across a deep valley, connecting Ritto and Koka cities with concrete towers reaching 103 meters in height.

The bridge opened in February 2008 as part of the Shin-Meishin Expressway project, incorporating corrugated steel web plates in its construction.

The bridge design represents two cranes flying back-to-back toward the sky, created through collaboration between American designer Tanja Wilcox and local high school students.

The structure maintains a width of 16.5 meters to accommodate six lanes of traffic, though it currently operates with four lanes for cost efficiency.

The bridge features a light brown concrete coloring that matches the surrounding weathered granite landscape of the Shiga Prefecture natural park.
