Kōrai Bridge, Steel cable-stayed bridge in Saitama Prefecture, Japan

The Kōrai Bridge spans 1,485 meters across the Arakawa River, connecting Tokorozawa City and Wako City with a width of 55.4 meters.

Construction of the bridge commenced after urban planning approval in March 1980, leading to its completion and opening to traffic in November 1992.

The name Kōrai originates from the Manyoshu poetry collection, referring to divine protection and fortune in Japanese traditional literature.

The bridge maintains a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour and underwent seismic reinforcement works between 2009 and 2011 to enhance structural stability.

The structure reaches a height of 80 meters at its main tower and features separate vehicle lanes alongside pedestrian walkways across multiple waterways.
