Shin-Tonegawa Bridge

The Shin-Tonegawa Bridge extends 620 meters across the river with a 175-meter main structure and spans connecting the municipalities through a steel box girder design.

The bridge stands as a modern engineering advancement in Japanese infrastructure, utilizing construction methods that emerged from post-war transportation development programs.

Local residents from both Goka and Sakai gather at the bridge during summer festivals to watch fireworks displays over the Tonegawa River.

The bridge carries two lanes of vehicular traffic and pedestrian walkways, providing direct access between the eastern section of Goka and western part of Sakai.

The structure features a slight horizontal curve at its southern end, requiring specialized engineering calculations to maintain stability across varying deck heights.
