In fact, this bridge does not yet exist as of 2012, and will be the "Sumida River Bridge (tentative name) Bridge" that will be completed at the end of 2014. The figure in ↑ is the expected completion drawing on the homepage of the "Ring Route 2 Sumida River Bridge (tentative name) Bridge Maintenance Project".

 

In the future, with the construction of Ring Route 2 connecting the coastal area and the city center, it seems that it will be built between Tsukiji and Kachidoki across the Sumida River.


If you look from the top of Kachidokibashi, you will get to the place located in the center of the photo.

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Construction, this bridge will be completed at the same time as the opening of the Toyosu New Market, and with the completion of this bridge, at the end of FY2015, not only "Harumi-dori St.", It is said that goods can be transported using this "Ring Route 2".


Once completed, the current Tsukiji Market and Toyosu New Market will be connected in a straight line.
