新神宮橋

The New Jingu Bridge extends across the waterway in Chiba Prefecture, connecting communities with its concrete and steel construction measuring several hundred meters in length.

The bridge construction in 2004 replaced an older crossing point that had served the local population for transportation needs throughout the previous century.

The bridge name, Shin-Jingu, reflects Japanese naming conventions by combining the characters for new (shin) and shrine (jingu) in reference to local sacred sites.

The structure maintains two vehicle lanes and pedestrian walkways on both sides, allowing for efficient movement between the eastern and western sections of the region.

The bridge provides views of seasonal changes in the surrounding landscape, from spring cherry blossoms to winter snow-capped mountains in the distance.
