There must be (or have been) some compelling reason to build that dramatic overkill of a pier to solve a minor problem.
My guess would be to keep it out of the way of construction equipment. The Japs fix roads super fast, like when an earthquake opens it up in no more than a day or two it's open. It took four months to get that detour up so I'm guessing they're planning more than bulldoze the right of way and a little stabilization.
