Tokyo, Japan's Bridges: Matsushiro Bridge across the Yoko Jikkengawa

March 2012 (35.696 Degrees, 139.819 Degrees) Matsushiro Bridge

The next bridge carries Route 14 (the Keiyo Doro) across the Yoko Jikkengawa. It's a single span steel girder bridge that is as wide as it is long (40 m by 40 m) and is supported on seat-type abutments. Keiyo Doro is a major thoroughfare with six lanes of traffic and wide sidewalks. The bridge is plain but effective at carrying a great deal of traffic. The river is more congested and with less vegetation in this densely populated part of Tokyo.
