Komatsugawa Ōhashi Bridge, Road bridge in Edogawa-ku, Japan
The Komatsugawa Ōhashi Bridge is a road bridge that spans the Arakawa River and connects multiple districts in eastern Tokyo. The structure carries traffic as part of the Shuto Expressway system and links with Metropolitan Routes 465 and 318.
The bridge opened in 1971 as transportation needs grew between central Tokyo and its eastern areas. It became part of a larger infrastructure expansion that supported the city's growth during that period.
The bridge sits in an area with historic shrines and former port facilities that show how this place transformed from a trading hub into a modern transportation route. Visitors can sense these layers of the past while experiencing the landscape between old and new Tokyo.
The bridge maintains a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour and is designed for regular traffic flow. Be prepared for varying traffic conditions depending on the time of day, as it is a major transit route.
In 2019, additional interchanges with the Central Circular Route were added to reduce congestion in eastern Tokyo. This upgrade shows how the infrastructure continues to adapt to changing traffic patterns in the city.
