Aganogawa Bridge, railway bridge in Niigata, Japan
Aganogawa Bridge is a railway bridge with a truss design spanning the Agano River in Niigata. The structure consists of connected steel components arranged in a stable pattern that distributes the weight of trains evenly across the span.
The bridge began service in 1987 as part of the Hakushin Line operated by East Japan Railway Company. It was constructed to provide reliable train connections across the Agano River for the local region.
The bridge takes its name from the Agano River it crosses. It serves as a daily link for local residents and travelers, forming part of the ordinary fabric of transportation in the region.
Visitors should stay alert to frequent passing trains and remain on designated paths. The best time to visit is during daylight when the light makes the river landscape and bridge structure clearly visible.
The bridge has linked multiple towns along the Hakushin Line and supported their economic development for decades. Its simple, functional design shows how infrastructure coexists with nature in this part of Japan.
