Tokyo, Japan's Bridges: Metropolitan Expressway (Komatsugawa Route 7) across the Yoko Jikkengawa

March 2012 (35.693 Degrees, 139.820 Degrees) Metropolitan Expressway

The Metropolitan Expressway has an odd shape as it goes from eight to six to four lanes as it goes from the west to the east. There are on and off ramps and even a toll booth on the west side of the river (see Google Earth Map below). It has a steel box girder superstructure on a hammerhead bent in the middle of the river and multicolumn bents on each side of the river to support this elevated expressway.
