Sumida River Terrace _Kachidokibashi

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] May 28, 2018 12:00

Kachidokibashi is one of the bridges that have been designated as national important cultural properties. It was a bridge in 1940.
Looking at the whole view from the Kachidoki side, it looks like a picture.

The right side of the three tall buildings is the St. Luke's Tower, which used to be open the observation floor and enjoy the view, but now it is closed. By the way, St. Luke seems to be the correct way to read "Seiruka" (the topic was on a TV program a few days ago) I pronounced "Seiroka".
Returning to Kachidokibashi, the central part of this bridge jumped into the shape of "C" and a large ship passed.

The Sumida River Terrace on the Kachidoki side can walk under the bridge, and you can see that you use a lot of rivets like this era when you look at the bridge from below.

When the counter weight of the bouncing part can be seen under the bridge.
I've heard it before, but from here I don't know if it's still there.

I don't usually see much, but it is well maintained without rust.

You can see the part that was previously called razor dike.
Passing under Kachidokibashi, you will find the Tsukishima River Suimon, which goes out to the general road and detours.

It is now under construction and is scheduled to be completed in May, so by the time this article will be published.
I think it's finished. There is a guide when a pedestrian bridge is installed.
There seems to be no need to detour in June.
Going further and looking back near Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, Kachidokibashi overlaps with Tsukiji Ohashi behind.
It looks like a triple arch bridge.

Tsukiji Ohashi is not in service yet, so Kachidokibashi is the first bridge on the Sumida River.
