Tokyo, Japan's Bridges: Sobu Railway Bridge across the Kyu Nakagawa

March 2012 (35.702 Degrees, 139.838 Degrees) Sobu Railway Bridge

The next bridge up the Kyu Nakagawa is the Sobu Railway Line Bridge. It carries six or eight tracks on several superstructures on a big pier in the middle of the canal. This railway line continues across the Arakawa as shown in my blog from May 23rd. If you look closely, you can see the Sobu Line subway train crossing the bridge in this photo. On Google Earth, the bridge looks like it has a through girder superstructure (closer to us) and a through truss superstructure (further from us).

The canal makes a bend to the west and then another bend to the east, but we'll turn onto the Kita Jikkengawa Canal before it turns back to the east.
