第二広瀬川橋梁

The Second Hirose River Bridge extends 134.4 meters across the river, featuring a distinctive truss structure supported by multiple steel pillars and platforms.

Built in 1931, this railway bridge represents a significant engineering achievement that connected Sendai and Yamagata regions through the Senzan railway line.

The bridge stands as an engineering symbol in the region, where local residents gather during seasonal festivals to celebrate their community heritage.

Located between Rikuzen-shirasawa and Kumagane stations, the bridge rises 52 meters above water level and remains accessible for railway transportation throughout the year.

This structure held the record for being the highest trestle bridge in Japan until 2010, demonstrating exceptional resilience during the 2011 Eastern Japan Earthquake.
