Takeyukibi Bridge - Chichibu

You can see Mt. Buko from the bridge.

In the mountain scenery ... A big bridge that suddenly appears ? Bridge (laughs)

[Bridge construction] Chichibu City was the main business entity for Takeyukibi Bridge, and construction started in October 1952 with a total project cost of 8,245,000 yen. When selecting the bridge type, consideration was given to the scenery of Chichibu despite its simple structure. The long-awaited "Bridge of Hope" was completed in March 1953, and access roads were constructed on both banks. The access road was constructed as part of the unemployment countermeasure project in Chichibu City in 1953 (Showa 28). Even now, when the ferry is replaced by a bridge, the Chichibu Kawase Festival's "portable shrine washing" ritual is held in this area, and only pedestrians can pass through the main bridge during the festival, and vehicles are closed. This bridge was reinforced based on the Chichibu City Bridge Longevity Plan. In 1993 (Heisei 5), the Chichibu Park Bridge was built so as to cross directly above the bridge, and the traffic volume decreased significantly, but the policy is to continue this bridge as long as the local residents are attached to it. .. [Around] The Arakawa River near Takeyukibi Bridge is called "Takeyukibi nose Arakawa", and is the place where the "Mikoshi-washing Shinto ritual" of the Chichibu Kawase Festival is held on the nearby riverbank. At the time of the Shinto ritual, traffic restrictions will be placed on some roads in the city, in addition to the main bridge, and the passage of vehicles will be restricted. The surrounding area is a river terrace area, and terrace cliffs can be seen on both banks. Exhibitor: Some from Wikipedia

I saw it for a long time on a walk ❗ (・ ∇ ・) Currently, Chichibu Koenbashi Bridge is connected to Chichibu Muse Park from Chichibu Station. The road is one lane wide, and cars are forced to pass alternately and feel the times, but it is a point where you can experience the symbol of Chichibu including Mt. Buko, Chichibu Park Bridge, Arakawa? (⌒-⌒)
