When I was a child, I crossed Kachidokibashi and went from Tsukiji to Tsukishima, and although it was a little exaggerated, I felt like going to another world.
Of course, Tsukishima and Kachidoki at that time were like a town that could not be imagined now.
When I looked at the river surface from above when I crossed the bridge, I was scared at its height.
Also, there is a faint memory when the bridge opened, but it seems that sand and garbage on the street have slipped down at this time, and it is said that a considerable amount of dust flew.
Kachidokibashi is one of the few existing movable bridges.
Now, "The transmission to the machine part has been stopped, and the movable part has been locked.
The opening and closing stops at the end of November 29, 1970, and cannot be opened."
Look at this and imagine opening it
The structure of the bridge is
"It consists of Hashimoto's body (weight 900t on one side only) and counterweight (weight 1,100t) mounted across the shaft."
According to an acquaintance who said he had seen this counterweight by boat down
(I don't know if it's correct or not) it's like a lead stick.
The central part
"Because it has an electric lock pin mechanism and is still fixed by this lock pin.
Even if you stand at the same time, you will not be able to feel the difference due to vibration."
Although it is described on the Internet site, there is no gap when actually standing on this part, but it shakes quite a lot when a large car passes.
Here, when a large car passes, it shakes up and down.
There is still a traffic light (of course not used) on the sidewalk in front of the movable part.
There was a traffic light on the road for a while.
When the bridge opened, this signal turned red and stopped traffic on Hashigami. (It seems that the alarm siren was also sounding.)
There was also a traffic light here for a while.↑
It seems that rails for streetcars have been laid from the beginning.
I think Toden was traveling back and forth between Tsukishima and Ginza and Hibiya.
A bicycle tire was taken in the rut of this rail and fell near the central lane.
There was a lot of traffic at this time, but I felt painful, but luckily did not lead to a traffic accident.
In me
The beauty is Kiyosu Bridge No. 1
The strength is Eitai Bridge No. 1
The presence of Kachidokibashi is the number one.
There are other bridges that span Chuo-ku, and the bridges you can see from the Sumida River Terrace are rich in variety and fun.
