Iwamatsu-bashi was built over Iwasaki Canal to connect Taisho and Nishi Wards at the time of the construction of the Matsushima Minami Okajima Streetcar Line in July 1922. The bridge is 66.44m long with a road width of 14.55 (plus a sidewalk 1.5m wide) and, like Iwasaki-bashi it is constructed of ferro-concrete. Later the road was widened to 35m.
In the fall of 2001, on the Taisho Ward side of the retaining wall of Shirinashi-gawa, between Iwasaki-bashi and Iwamatsu-bashi pictures of Taisho bridges by citizens were painted with the caption: "Let's paint! Our town Taisho's Gallery."
Transportation: Take the JR, or subway to Taisho Station, or the city bus to Taisho-bashi and walk north 200m. |
