Chunō bridge, Transportation bridge in Mino-Kamo City, Japan
Chunō Bridge is a transportation bridge crossing the Kiso River between Kani City and Mino-Kamo City. It carries vehicle traffic along with dedicated pedestrian pathways across the river.
This bridge was built in the late 1960s as part of regional transportation development. Its construction represented modern engineering advances for connecting communities across the Kiso River.
The bridge location near boat tour starting points required special design considerations to maintain the natural beauty of the National Park surroundings.
The bridge sits on National Route 41 and is easily accessible for both vehicles and pedestrians. You can walk across it to view the river and surrounding landscape.
The bridge structure combines a three-span rigid-frame box girder using the Devidark method and a continuous box girder using the Freyssinet method.
