Ibaraki, Japan's Bridges: Route 293 Bridge across the Satogawa (2)

June 2011 (36.536 Degrees, 140.540 Degrees) Satogawa Bridge

A view showing the temporary Bailey Bridge put up after the earthquake, the undamaged pedestrian bridge, and the old Satogawa Bridge with the girders moved off their bearings. Ibaraki Prefecture must be like a big green sponge. It is so soggy and wet that it is the only location during the 2011 earthquake where bridges got damaged due to liquefaction.
