この橋は旧東海道にある橋で、新堀川に架かっています。
新堀川は比較的新しい川で、元々今池周辺を水源とした精進川の洪水対策、船舶航行および下水処理水の行き場として、1910年に川筋を付け替えたものです。
This bridge is located on the old Tokaido and crosses the Shin-Horikawa river.
The Shin-Horikawa River is a relatively new river, which was replaced in 1910 as a flood control measure for the Shojin River, which was originally fed by the Imaike area, and as a destination for ships and treated sewage water.
