Aso Bridge, Arch bridge in Minamiaso, Japan
The steel arch bridge spans 206 meters across a deep canyon, connecting the villages of Tateno and Kawayo in the Kumamoto Prefecture.
Constructed in 1971, the original bridge collapsed during the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, leading to the construction of a new bridge 600 meters downstream.
The bridge earned the local nickname 'Red Bridge' due to its initial orange color, which was later changed to gray to harmonize with the landscape.
The new Aso Bridge, completed in 2021, features a 525-meter span with a maximum pier height of 97 meters and includes pedestrian walkways.
The remains of the collapsed bridge structure are preserved as a memorial site to educate future generations about the 2016 earthquake's impact.
