利根橋, Railway bridge on the Jōban Line between Abiko and Toride, Japan
The Tonegawa Bridge is a railway crossing over the Tone River that links Abiko in Chiba Prefecture to Toride in Ibaraki Prefecture. It carries daily train traffic as a vital part of the Joban Line's route through the region.
The bridge was built as part of Japan's railway expansion in the Kantō region to improve connections across the Tone River. This project opened up better transport links between the communities it connects today.
The bridge crosses a major river that has long shaped connections between nearby regions. For daily commuters, this crossing has become an ordinary but important part of their routine between two prefectures.
The bridge is accessible to train passengers traveling between Abiko and Toride on the Joban Line. Visitors can see it best from onboard a train or from nearby river areas along its approach.
The bridge sits at a strategic point in the river's crossing pattern, positioned between other bridges upstream and downstream that form an interconnected network. This arrangement reflects careful planning of infrastructure to serve the region's needs.
