Sakae Bridge

Sakae Bridge crosses the Tone River for approximately 273 meters, linking Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures with a steel structure. It carries both prefectural roads Route 4 and Route 170 across the water.

The bridge was built to improve regional transportation between the two prefectures and support local economic development. It was later incorporated into Japan's national road network to facilitate broader connectivity.

This bridge represents Japanese engineering excellence in transportation infrastructure, integrating modern design principles with functional requirements for river crossings.

The bridge offers reliable crossing conditions for cars and motorcycles traveling between the prefectures. Visitors should expect local traffic patterns and plan accordingly when using this route.

The bridge sits upstream from the Tonegawa Railway Bridge, creating a rare transportation node where road and rail networks converge. This proximity makes the area a notable junction for different modes of regional transport.
