Niigata, Japan's Bridges: Heisei O'Hashi across the Sabaishi River (3)

August 2007 (N37.3888° E138.5767°) Heisei O'Hashi

Another view of the Heisei O'Hashi across the Sabaishi River. A simple design: a long concrete box girder, deepest at the center support and tapering at the ends sitting in front of the abutment backwall.

Like the nearby Kaiun Bridge, the abutments support plinths with panels providing scenes from nature, in this case flying waterfowl.
