隅田川駅跳上橋

The Sumida River Railway Lift Bridge spans across the Sumida River, connecting two sections of the railway network with a movable steel structure.

The bridge was constructed to improve transportation infrastructure in Tokyo's eastern district, replacing older crossing methods over the Sumida River.

The bridge represents Japanese engineering expertise in railway infrastructure, combining functionality with urban development needs in densely populated Tokyo.

The bridge operates on a regular schedule, lifting its central span to allow water traffic passage while maintaining railway connections during standard hours.

The bridge incorporates specialized mechanical systems that enable its central section to rise vertically, accommodating both rail and river traffic requirements.
