Sumidagawa Bridge, Railway bridge in Sumida-ku, Japan

The Sumidagawa Bridge spans 172 meters across the Sumida River, connecting the districts of Taito and Sumida with three steel truss sections.

The bridge opened in July 1932 as part of the Sobu Line railway infrastructure, marking a significant expansion of Tokyo's transportation network.

The bridge structure reflects early Showa period engineering methods, featuring a Gerber girder system with three spans in the Langer design.

The bridge serves as a crucial link for JR East's Sobu Line trains, positioned between Ryogoku Station to the east and Asakusabashi Station to the west.

The bridge stands at the point where the Kanda River merges with the Sumida River, creating a notable water confluence visible from the western bank.
