Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan.

About

The Aioi Bridge (相生橋, Aioi Bashi) is an unusual T-shaped three-way bridge in Hiroshima, Japan. The original bridge, constructed in 1932, was the aiming point for the 1945 Hiroshima atom bomb. This was both because its shape was easily recognized from the air, and its location was close to the city center.
