多摩川橋梁, Railway bridge in Kawasaki and Ota District, Japan.
The Tamagawa Railway Bridge carries the Chuo Main Line across the Tama River, linking Ota ward in Tokyo with Kawasaki city in Kanagawa Prefecture. It forms part of a busy rail corridor that moves thousands of passengers daily between these two urban areas.
The bridge opened in 1964 using Gerber plate girder technology, an advanced construction method for that era. This engineering approach allowed engineers to build a stable crossing that would support the region's growing rail traffic.
The bridge serves as a central connection point between Tokyo and Kanagawa, facilitating daily transportation for thousands of residents and visitors.
The bridge is best viewed from nearby Numabe Station or from the Shin-Maruko Station area, both located directly along the line. You can also see it from the riverbank or nearby paths if you are walking in the area.
The bridge structure features specific measurements, with a width of 12.76 meters and stands at kilometer marker 16.43 from the river confluence.
