安倍川橋

The Abe River Bridge spans 155 meters with a distinctive arch-like bowstring truss design crossing the river in fourteen connected sections.

The initial wooden bridge from 1874 was replaced by a wood-steel combination in 1902, leading to the current steel structure completion in 1923.

The bridge forms part of the historical Tokaido route between Fuchu-juku and Mariko-juku stations, where river crossings occurred during the Edo period.

Located near the Abe River mochi shops, the bridge connects to Prefecture Road Fujieda-Shizuoka Line with pedestrian access on the downstream side.

The structure represents one of the oldest steel truss bridges in Central Japan's five prefectures, featuring rhythmic arches visible from passing Shinkansen trains.
