Niigata, Japan's Bridges: Kaiun Bridge across the Sabaishi River (3)

August 2007 (37.3918° 138.5806°) Kaiun Bridge

The area around the Kaiun Bridge suffered a lot of soil-related damage during the Kashiwazaki Earthquake. The embankments supporting a nearby utility bridge settled, breaking the waterline (see photo below), and a new line was put on the sidewalk of the Kaiun Bridge (see above).
