Have you ever seen three river bridges between Senryuga-taki sta. and Yosii sta.? They were constructed while former National Railway, Isa line (what is now called “Matuura Railway”) had been constructed. At that time, series of deep valleys were agonizing obstacles to set railways. Those three river bridges such as Fukui river bridge, Yoshida bridge and Yoshii river bridge made possible for Isa line to open to traffic. All of them are concrete arch shaped bridges and their beautiful formative designs fascinate us harmonizing with surrounding views.

今回は、北松浦半島を周回する旧国鉄伊佐線(現松浦鉄道)の工事で、特に難航した深い谷が連続する潜龍ヶ滝~吉井間の橋梁の紹介です。当時、この難所を福井川橋梁、吉田橋梁、吉井川橋梁の三橋梁により克服し、伊佐線は開通を迎えました。いずれもコンクリートアーチ橋で、曲線で構成された橋の姿は、周囲の風景と共に優美な景観を作り出しています。
