| News | New Series "100 Best Bridges" Will Be Starting from Next Issue |
A new series of column "100 Best Bridges" will be starting from the next issue ("Up & Coming" dated May 1st, 2009).
While there is a severe discussion on public works projects, social infrastructures play an important part in development of economy in our country, or in improving convenience and comfort of people's life. Especially for bridges, a large amount of stock has been accumulated from the postwar rehabilitation period through the rapid growth era; in addition, it is an urgent task to deal with maintenance and renewal of the bridges under aging and obsolescence. Since there are many bridges with excellent design, we focus on the cases that people have loved and been treating with care through civic life and present them in a series, including their design elements.
This will be based on the effort of selecting 100 best bridges by regions through applications open to the public conducted by the branches of Kanto, Chubu, and Kinki areas of NPO IT Station "Citizens and Construction." Members of these branches will pick up most characteristic ones from each "100 Best Bridges," telling stories about their overviews and features, their regional and cultural value, relations with civic life, and so on, illustrated with photos.
