Niigata Japan's Bridges: Osu Bridge across the U River (1)

August 2007 (37.3635 Degrees, 138.5478 Degrees) Osu Bashi

The fourth bridge across the U River is a narrow (6 m wide) two-span concrete box girder bridge on a single-column bent and one tall and one short abutment that had more damage than the previous two bridges.  Although the south levee moved very little, the embankment between the levee and the bridge settled a meter and there was damage to the abutment including a leaking waterline.
