Arakawa-Nakagawa Bridge, Railway bridge in Edogawa district, Japan
Description
The Arakawa-Nakagawa Bridge is a railway viaduct spanning over 1,200 meters across the Arakawa River, carrying the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line. It is supported by 16 blue-painted steel truss sections that connect two adjacent stations.
History
The bridge opened in 1969 and was initially one of Japan's longest railway crossings. This status changed as larger airport infrastructure projects led to longer bridge constructions.
Culture
The bridge links Tokyo's eastern neighborhoods and serves as a daily crossing for commuters between residential and commercial districts. For local residents, it represents a routine part of their journey through the city.
Practical
The bridge carries frequent train traffic throughout the day, with services running between the two end stations. Visitors can view the structure from nearby riverbanks or from passing trains.
Did you know?
A tornado struck the bridge in February 1978, causing three cars of a train to derail on the span. This weather event remains a notable moment in Japan's railway history.
