Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan Bridges: Kenkyugakuen Pedestrian Overcrossing across Route 19

November 2013 (36.08203, 140.08385) Kenkyugakuen POC

Next to the Kenkyu-Gakuen railroad station is a pedestrian overcrossing. It's a one span bridge with long approaches on retaining walls to raise it over Route 19 in Tsukuba.

The retaining walls look like mechanically-stabilized earth (MSE) walls with attractively-textured panels.

The single span is a reinforced concrete box girder on seat-type abutments. I was surprised to see that the abutment had a sign warning people to watch out for robots!
