Visiting Shin-Aso Bridge, Minamiaso, Kumamoto

After visiting Aso Shrine, we went to Shin-Aso Ohashi Bridge, a box girder bridge🌉 that opened on March 7. As an alternative to the Aso Ohashi Bridge that collapsed due to the Kumamoto earthquakes five years ago, it is located approximately 600 meters downstream from the old bridge.

We parked a car in front of the Sugaru (数鹿流) collapse site. This is a place where landslide happened during the earthquake😨

The red train🚆 on Hohi Line is coming.

The former Aso Ohashi Bridge broken by a mudslide. This is very shocking, and the bridge girder of the one is still there😲

We're going to cross a new bridge.

I looked back on the bridge from the Yo Mule viewpoint. By the way, the name Yo Mule (ヨ・ミュール pronounced as yo-myu-ru) comes from Yoku Mieru (よく見える) in the Kumamoto dialect😁 When translated to English, it means "You can see the new bridge from here".
