Japan's Bridges: Kofunakoshi Bridge in Miyagi Prefecture

June 2011 (38.502 Degrees, 141.287 Degrees) Kofunakoshi Bridge

Continuing north on the Yamoto Ishinomaki Road (just past the Shin Tenno Bridge) is a hill with a deck arch bridge over the roadway. This bridge connects a neighborhood on each side of the highway. The hill is all by itself in the middle of the plain. Note the crib walls used to support the cut section through the hill.
