中津～玖珠間の道路開鑿に奔走した玖珠郡長・村上田長の功績をたたえ、昭和15 年中津と玖珠の境界に石碑が建てられました。この石碑のある位置は、奇岩・絶壁からなる急峻な勾配の渓谷に道を通すため、 鶴が舞い弧を描く姿をヒントに明治24年に建設された国内最古といわれるループ橋・舞鶴橋の跡地と一致します。

This monument was erected in Showa 15 at the Nakatsu-Kusu border in commendation of Murakami Dencho’s efforts for making the Nakatsu-Kusu Road a reality. It is located amongst steeply sloped valleys consisting of cliffs and curiously shaped boulders, so it is also the site of Maizuru Bridge, Japan’s oldest spiral bridge that was built in Meiji 24 and inspired by cranes dancing in loops.
