Ibaraki, Japan's Bridges: Route 293 Bridge across the Satogawa (1)

June 2011 (36.536 Degrees, 140.540 Degrees) Satogawa Bridge

The Satogawa Highway Bridge is a 189.2 m seven span reinforced concrete T girder bridge (with drop-in spans) that carries Route 293 over the Satogawa River. There is an undamaged pedestrian bridge just to the north and also a temporary Bailey Bridge to the north of that because the highway bridge was closed after the earthquake. The piers moved towards the river due to lateral spreading that damaged the bearings.
