If there are a Trackables in the cache, I will rescue it later and make it travel.
I'm happy that fun caches increases near Idogaya Station in Minami-ku, Yokohama-shi in the future. Thanks a lot.

--in Japanese--

中村川に架かる赤いトラスが印象的な橋です。明治26年、中村川下流の｢西之橋｣がトラス鉄橋に改築されました。平成元年、高速道路建設の為にこの場所に移設されて、その際に｢浦舟水道橋｣となりました。橋長は24.3m、幅員は5.6mです。｢浦舟水道橋｣は歩行者専用として使用されています。鉄材は建設当時のままのイギリス･シェルトン社製のものが多く使われています。この結合方式のトラスは、明治中･後期にしか見られないものだそうです。｢ピン結合｣と言う結合方式を採用していて、部材と部材が一本のボルトで結合されています。この橋は、日本に現存する最古の｢ピン結合トラス式｣の道路橋として、とても貴重な存在です。この橋は平成12年11月に横浜市歴史的建造物に認定されました。また、｢かながわの橋100選｣にも選出されています。
