Goshikizakura Ōhashi Bridge

The Goshikizakura Ōhashi Bridge spans the Arakawa River with a total length of 146.2 meters, featuring the world's first double-deck Nielsen Lohse arch design with upper and lower traffic levels.

Completed on December 25, 2002, this bridge was built as part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Central Circular Route, connecting the Kohoku Junction to the Itabashi Junction section.

The bridge takes its name from the famous five-colored cherry blossoms that once flourished in the area, which were planted by local villagers in 1886 and later donated to Washington D.C.

The bridge operates with illumination until 10 PM daily, accessible from Ogi-Ohashi Station, and features a double-deck structure that efficiently manages traffic flow in both directions.

This bridge incorporates energy-generating technology that harnesses vibrations from passing vehicles to produce electricity, which partially powers its lighting system for nightly illumination displays.
