相模川橋梁

The Sagamigawa Bridge carries the Tokaido Shinkansen line across the Sagami River between Samukawa and Hiratsuka in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The bridge opened on October 1, 1964, marking the inauguration of Japan's high-speed rail system connecting Tokyo with western regions of the country.

The bridge structure represents Japanese engineering excellence through its Warren truss design, which maintains stability for bullet trains crossing at high speeds.

Visitors can observe passing Shinkansen trains from the Hiratsuka City Okami Sports Ground, accessible by bus from Hiratsuka Station or Hon-Atsugi Station.

The bridge spans feature continuous steel trusses that create an optical illusion, making the structure appear as one connected piece rather than separate segments.
