Umaya Bridge, Historic bridge in Sumida, Japan.
The bridge features three arch spans extending 151 meters across the Sumida River, connecting the districts of Honjo and Kuranuma.
Built in 1874 as a wooden structure spanning 150 meters, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 1929 following damage from the Great Kanto Earthquake.
The bridge incorporates horse-themed design elements, including stained glass installations and reliefs, referencing the stables that once stood on its western bank.
The Umaya Bridge serves as a vital transportation link on Tokyo Metropolitan Road 453, accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the Sumida River.
The Toei Oedo Line subway tunnels beneath the bridge form a convex lens shape with a 200-meter radius curve to avoid the bridge foundations.
