Japan's Bridges: Tagohashi Bridges in Miyagi Prefecture (3)

June 2011 (38.287 Degrees, 140.963 Degrees) Tagohashi Bridges

A view from under the Tagohashi Bridges. We can see the two piers connected with a small closure wall. The piers must have been connected to improve streamflow during flooding. It also looks like the girders have moved to the left (and off their bearings) during the earthquake. There are stains at the top of the piers and at mid-height on the pipe piles. I wonder if the tsunami or flooding has overtopped the bridge?
