The West Peace Bridge
The name “West Peace Bridge” (Nishi Heiwa Ōhashi) was chosen in a public naming contest in November 1951, along with “Peace Boulevard” (Heiwa Ōdōri). The handrails on West Peace Bridge and Peace Bridge to its east were designed by American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988). The bridges were completed in March 1952.
