According to the panel on display, the structure of this bridge is structured.
It is said that it is "a three-way continuous Nakaji-style arch bridge".
"By eliminating the upper side lumber and tilting the arch to the sidewalk side, Hashigami provides a sense of openness different from other Sumida River bridges.
In addition, the suspended material connected to the tilted arch mainly supports the roadway, and expresses the Motohashi design, which is greatly opened upward, like a harp. "

The height from the water surface to the bridge girder is said to be 5.8m.
It seems that there is no effect on houseboats and water buses going around the Sumida River.

 
  With the completion of the bridge connecting Harumi, Kachidoki, Tsukiji and Ginza, it seems that it will be available during 2015.
And in 2020, access to the Olympic Athlete Village in Harumi (planned) and the Olympic venue will be easier, making it easier for not only the central residents but also spectators who visit the Olympic Games to come and go. Everything is all right.
Please see here for the installation of the left and right abutments before the bridge.
