Tokyo, Japan's Bridges: Kinegawa Bridge across the Arakawa

March 2012 (35.728 Degrees, 139.833 Degrees) Kinegawa Bridge

During the last few months we've been traveling up the Sumida River and back down the Arakawa. We are now at the last of a cluster of bridges, the Kinegawa, which is a 1744 ft long through truss bridge that was built in 1969. This truss has no vertical members, it's just the simplest form of a Warren truss, a two lane highway bridge with wide sidewalks. Note the slightly tapered pier walls supporting the truss. This bridge has person-lift underneath. Apparently many of the Arakawa River Crossings were being worked on during the spring.
