I've always wanted to visit the Kachidokibashi pier, which is the largest movable bridge in Japan.
I searched for a way to visit Kachidokibashi from the web.
Knowing that the Tokyo Metropolitan Road Maintenance and Conservation Corporation is conducting a tour tour, applying, and participating.
I did it. You will see the machinery and equipment as it was when it was opened and closed in the pier.

The bridge used to be a bridge from this position.
We organized places and traffic of people and streetcars
There was a traffic light left.
In addition, people at the foot, such as when a bridge is rising
The line that kept waiting is lined with studs of the size of a small plate
It remains in the form.
From HP
I went to the operation room on the second floor of the building in the center of the bridge. There are many buttons on the operation panel.
Yes, it seems that many of these buttons were operated to raise and lower the bridge.
Next, from the first floor, go down the vertical stairs leading to the machine room in the pier. Of course, for the visitor's body
He went down the stairs through a rope to guard against the belt of safety equipment to prevent crashes. I am
He was difficult to pass at the beginning of the stairs because of his wide width, and twisted his body and passed safely.
The inside of the pier is 9m in size and height for the entire tennis court. It feels very wide.
Using this large space, the machine seemed to balance the bridge when the bridge was up.
That's right.
They gave a detailed explanation and explanation of the machinery and equipment.
While looking at the machine inside the pier, go a little further and look outside.
If you don't participate in the tour, you can't see it first.
The application for the tour tour is the Tokyo Metropolitan Road Maintenance and Conservation Corporation.

The five people who provide detailed support to tour explanation and safety assurance are from the public corporation OB.
They are veterans.
They are also reliable people who can provide assistance in the event of a disaster.
The illuminated Kachidokibashi is very nice.
But I think I wanted to cross Kachidokibashi at least once before opening and closing was stopped. At that time
It was impossible because I didn't live in Tokyo.)
