Aganogawa-o-hashi, Railway bridge in Niigata, Japan.
The Aganogawa-o-hashi is a railway bridge spanning the Agano River in Niigata, using a truss design for structural strength and stability. Trains cross it regularly to connect different parts of the region.
The bridge opened in 1987 as part of the railway infrastructure operated by East Japan Railway Company. It was built to establish a permanent rail connection across the Agano River.
The bridge serves as a daily connection for local communities, allowing people to move between neighborhoods and access work or services across the river. It forms part of the rhythm of life in this region of Niigata Prefecture.
The bridge carries rail traffic on regular schedules and is designed with safety in mind for all operations. Visitors can view it from nearby riverbanks or vantage points along the Agano River.
The structure sits between two other river crossings, with the Taihei Bridge downstream and the Aga-no-kakehashi upstream. These three passages create a cluster of connections at this stretch of the Agano River.
