March 2012 (38.547 Degrees, 141.423 Degrees) Kitakami Bridge |
A photo of the damaged abutment, which was subsequently abandoned. Note the various devices that were meant to keep the truss seated that were broken as it was carried away. Also note the replacement bridge spans (with blue girders) behind the abutment. The Ministry was able to quickly drive piles and set these replacement spans onto Route 45 while they pondered the future for this region.
