The Chikugo River Lift Bridge is a remarkable piece of engineering located in Saga, Japan. Constructed in 1935, it was originally used as a railway bridge, connecting the cities of Saga and Okawa across the Chikugo River. What sets this bridge apart is its unique lift mechanism, which allows a central span to be raised and lowered to accommodate river traffic.
