Ote Ohashi Bridge

This bridge spans the Shinano River flowing through Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. Intersecting with Nagaoka City's main street, it gets pretty busy. Originally it had two lanes when it opened in 1985, but it was upgraded to four lanes in 2010 to cope with the increase in traffic volume. It's a great spot to view the Nagaoka Fireworks when vehicles are banned and it's transformed into a pedestrian thoroughfare. During the climax of the event, cascading Niagara fireworks are launched from below the bridge.
