Arakawa Bridge, Railway bridge between Kita-ku and Kawaguchi, Japan
The granite and brick Arakawa Bridge spans across the Arakawa River, connecting sections of the Chichibu railroad network through its extended structure.
The bridge construction in 1914 became essential after the Chichibu railroad route changed due to soft ground conditions on the Arakawa River's left shore.
The Arakawa Bridge stands as a representation of early twentieth-century Japanese engineering methods, demonstrating the integration of traditional materials with modern design.
Visitors can reach the bridge by taking a nine-minute walk from Chichibu Railway Oyahana Station or a four-minute walk from Kami-Nagatoro Station.
The structure maintains its original granite and brick components while incorporating concrete reinforcements to meet current safety requirements for active rail transportation.
