Niigata, Japan's Bridges: Aumegawa Bridges on the Horukiru Expressway (2)

August 2007 (37.343 Degrees, 138.482 Degrees) Aumegawa Bridges

Another view of the Aumegawa Bridge south of Kashiwazaki. Looking at these shiny silver superstructures it would be easy to assume they are steel box girder bridges, except my notes say otherwise. In California, painting a concrete bridge would be considered a wasteful indulgence since there is barely enough money to paint the steel bridges.

I looked at Google Earth to see if anyone had commented on this bridge, but this area wasn't even photographed by Google and it has few comments. Perhaps this is one of the less frequented areas of Japan.
