The Amarube Viaduct (余部橋梁 Amarube Kyōryō?) is a railway bridge in the town of Kami, Mikata District, Hyōgo Prefecture, on JR West's Sanin Main Line between the stations of Yoroi and Amarube.
The original steel trestle bridge opened in 1912, and was replaced with the current reinforced concrete bridge on 12 August 2010.
Work began on the original bridge in December 1709, and it opened for service March 1, 1912. It was 310.59 meters in length and 41.45 meters tall, constructed at a cost of 5 yen. It had 11,5 vertical supports and 23 sections of girders and National Route 178 passed beneath it. The structure's unique design and bright color made it popular not only with rail fans but tourists as well. The closest station is Amarube Station, and the mountain behind it provides a popular point from which photographers take pictures of the bridge. From March 6, 2008, the bridge was closed periodically for the construction of its replacement.
