As part of this, the lighting up was canceled after May 23 due to the construction of the arch of the Eitai Bridge of the Sumida River Bridge to increase the durability of the entire bridge and extend the life of the bridge. Construction has been completed.

At the mouth of the Sumida River, there are Ryogoku Bridge from the upstream (highway No. 6 Mukojima Line / high speed No. 7 Komatsugawa Line), Shinohashi Bridge, Kiyosu Bridge, Sumida River Ohashi, Eitai Bridge, Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, Kachidokibashi Bridge, Tsukiji Bridge, and Tsukiji Bridge are lit up.

In addition to the bridge format, the color of the lighting is also devised for each, and it is worth seeing.

Night lighting of bridges accentuates the night scenery and also works as a landmark.

On the river surface, the light of the light up, the city lights of the riverbank, the illuminations of the houseboat are fused and reflected, creating a scene unique to the waterside.
