阿蘇長陽大橋

The Aso Choyo Bridge stretches 276 meters across the Kurogawa River with three hollow piers supporting its continuous four-span structure.

Built in 1997, this bridge replaced a 25-meter stone arch bridge from 1900 and served as a transport route for the Tatenodam construction materials.

The bridge features a monument displaying poems by Tekkan and Akiko Yosano, carved on andesite stone measuring 60 centimeters in height and 165 centimeters in width.

After repairs following the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, the bridge reopened in August 2017, reducing travel time between Kumamoto Interchange and South Aso.

The central pier reaches 73 meters from foundation to girder, spanning across deep valleys with spans of 39.3, 91, 91, and 53.3 meters.
