Abstract
Damage to road structures occurred at 204 positions due to Fukuoka Earthquake, but most of the damage were relatively light such as depressions of pavement. Damage also occurred to four bridges and their damage conditions are reported. The Imazu Bridge sustained damage to its girders due to collision of girders. Piers of the quay at the Uminonakamichi Seaside Park tilted. A difference of girder levels occurred to the Shikanoshima Bridge due to subsidence of piers. The Chidoribashi Bridge suffered damage to its roller bearings. All of these damages are similar to those seen in the past earthquakes.
