奥多摩橋

The Okutama Bridge extends 176 meters across the Tama River, featuring three observation platforms along its red-painted steel structure at 33 meters above water.

Built in 1939, this structure held the record as Japan's largest road arch bridge until the construction of the Nishi-Kai Bridge after World War II.

The Japan Society of Civil Engineers designated the Okutama Bridge as a Civil Engineering Heritage site for its structural design and engineering techniques.

The bridge connects communities on both sides of the Tama River and stands within walking distance from Futamatao Station on the Ome Line.

The bridge structure incorporates distinctive trusses shaped like arches suspended on both sides of the main span, creating a specific architectural pattern.
