磐越西線 鹿瀬駅 阿賀野川を渡る

磐越西線の鹿瀬駅へ行ってきました。ここには阿賀野川に架かる深戸橋梁があります。煙を上げるので、橋梁の正面から撮影する人が多いのですが、この橋梁が好きなので横から撮影しました。本当は山に登り俯瞰して撮影したいのですが、2022年春に快速あがのが廃止され、列車での撮影行が不便になってしまいました。
また、吊り橋の鹿瀬橋を今回初めて渡ることが出来ました。昔は自動車も通れたというので、驚きです。軽量化と排水のためグレーチング床となっていて、下の川が覗けます。

Thank you for an excellent video, your comment about being surprised the cars could pass through is interesting. The 1960 Ford was 81.3 inches wide or 6 3/4feet wide. If you ever go back, you should check to see if it that car would fit on the bridge. Ford Motor company had to hurry up and get approval for this car to go on the road, the width exceeded many states maximum width allowed at that time.

Hello, here is an overview of Kanose Bridge.
Bridge length - 172,300 m,
Suspension bridge span length - 129,960 m,
Width - 3,600 m (suspension bridge section), 4.5 m (beam bridge section)
Live load - 6.0 t (vehicle load),
Completed - 1953
I was surprised to hear that cars used to pass over it. I think that's because Japanese cars were small and light in the old days. The village office and the station were separated by a river. I guess this area needed a bridge that cars could pass over. Before the bridge was built, a ferry (probably for people) passed over it. It seems that buses also passed over it (but they didn't carry passengers). Unfortunately, I couldn't find a photo of a car passing over it.
In 1978, Kanose Ohashi Bridge (1:01) was built parallel to Kanose Bridge, and since then, Kanose Bridge has been used only for pedestrians and bicycles. Today, the suspension bridge is a civil engineering historical structure and is expected to contribute to the town's tourism.
Thank you.
