Apologies for the blurry image, I've been trying to identify a location in a
relatives photo and this sign appears to be the only hint I have at it. I'm
afraid my grasp of written Japanese isn't quite strong enough to understand it
though, would anyone here be able to decipher it for me?

grammar translation meaning words readings
Need help understanding the embedded image
It says:

> 天大橋{てんだいばし}
>
> 昭和{しょうわ}５９年{ねん}１２月竣工{がつしゅんこう}

meaning:

"Tendai Bridge"

"Completed in December, Year 59 of Showa" ← That is 1984.

The bridge seems to be located in the City of Satsuma-Sendai in Kagoshima
Prefecture unless there is a bridge with the same name somewhere else.
