第二千曲川橋梁

The Second Chikuma River Bridge spans 220 meters across the Chikuma River with five sections of steel truss construction painted in bright red.

The bridge gained attention in 2019 when Typhoon Hagibis caused severe flooding, leading to the collapse of one section on October 13.

The bridge represents an essential part of the Ueda Electric Railway Bessho Line, connecting communities along the historic Chikuma River valley.

The structure serves as a vital transportation link for the local rail system, enabling residents and visitors to travel between Ueda's districts.

Each of the five steel truss sections displays engineering precision, with the structure maintaining consistent spacing between supporting pillars.
