Kisogawa Bridge

Kisogawa Bridge crosses the Kiso River with a modern extradosed design featuring low-height pylons supporting cables at shallow angles. The structure combines multiple engineering techniques to distribute loads efficiently across its entire span.

Construction of this bridge in 2001 marked a turning point in regional infrastructure development. It was one of the first projects to introduce this modern construction method to the area.

The bridge connects two communities and serves as a familiar landmark for people traveling through the region. It shapes how local residents move between areas on either side of the river.

The bridge handles both rail and pedestrian traffic across the river. Designated zones ensure safe and orderly passage for different types of movement.

The structure uses advanced techniques like balanced cantilever segmental construction with post-tensioning systems. These methods create more even load distribution and improve overall stability.
