Hi there, I’m Jeff Morrow, and in case you’re not exactly sure who I am, I started Jeff’s World Bar in 1999 and I taught part-time at Kumadai, Gakuendai, and Kendai for many years. I worked full time at Tokai University and now I’m at Kumamoto Kenritsu University where I teach English and research tourism in Kyushu. I’ve had many opportunities to go to Aso both for research and relaxation and over the past two year or two and I’ve been watching the building of the new Aso Big Bridge. I’ve compiled a little slideshow of pictures taken from around the lower paralleling Choyo Bridge (I think that’s its name) and I thought it may be of interest to some readers. It’s an amazing process; it looks like they built it outwardly from the suspended boxes you see in the pictures. It was interesting to watch it progress little by little from the center until both sides were connected. From what I hear we’ll be able to drive over it come March. It’s much higher than the old big bridge and might be pretty scary to go over on a motorcycle on a windy day!
