新登別大橋, Red arch bridge in Noboribetsu, Japan
The Shin-Noboribetsu Bridge is a red steel arch structure that crosses a valley of the Noboribetsu River and stands out distinctly from the surrounding landscape. The bridge spans across the terrain at a considerable height and offers impressive views from several vantage points.
The structure was planned in the late 1970s and completed in the 1980s to create a new crossing over the river valley. Its construction was part of a larger infrastructure development that aimed to improve access to the region.
The bridge connects two regions of the Noboribetsu area and serves as a working passage that travelers use to move between coastal and inland zones.
The bridge area is easy to reach with free parking available on the western side and an observation platform for viewing. Visitors can take their time to see the structure and surrounding views without rushing.
The unusual aspect of this bridge is its arch design that remains largely hidden from the road surface above but creates a spectacular appearance when viewed from below. This technical feature makes it particularly interesting for engineers and bridge enthusiasts.
