Sumida River Terrace _ Sumida River Ohashi

[Blowing of Koi in Satsuki] 17:00 on January 21, 2019

Sumida River Ohashi is the only two-stage structure on the bridge over the Sumida River. The upper part is the Metropolitan Expressway, and the lower part is a functional bridge with general roads and sidewalks. I have been asked for the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification.

In my opinion, the entire view of the bridge is not very distinctive, but from this bridge you can see the contrasting bridges of both Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge.

Looking at the structural point, the part supporting the lower bridge girder is supported separately from the upper part.

Looking at the upper capital high speed Hakozaki direction in the upper row, the Hakozaki Junction seems to be a maze, not only the two steps but also the other branches further up.

As you can see below, not only on the bridge, but also on the bottom, there are facilities that support social infrastructure.
