Kiyosuna Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Edogawa-ku, Japan.
Kiyosuna Bridge is a cable-stayed structure spanning the Arakawa River and Naka River in Edogawa-ku, serving as a vital connection for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic between Tokyo and Chiba. The bridge features a modern design with steel cables extending from its main tower.
Construction of this bridge was completed in 2004 as part of Tokyo's regional infrastructure expansion. It represented an important milestone in connecting eastern Tokyo with Chiba Prefecture through improved transportation networks.
The bridge serves as a meeting point for local residents who gather to observe traditional firework displays and seasonal celebrations along the river.
The bridge is accessible year-round for both vehicular and pedestrian crossing, with dedicated pathways for each type of traffic. Walking along the pedestrian section offers views of both rivers and surrounding areas.
This structure was among the first self-anchored cable-stayed bridges in Japan, introducing design techniques not previously common in the country. The engineering approach drew from international practices while establishing a new standard for regional infrastructure.
