Kasai Bridge

Kasai Bridge is a steel structure in eastern Tokyo that spans the Arakawa and Nakagawa Rivers. It connects the districts of Edogawa and Koto, serving as a crucial route for both pedestrians and vehicle traffic across these waterways.

This bridge was built in 1963 to replace an older wooden structure from 1928 that had collapsed in 1950. The new construction reconnected the two districts after the loss of the original crossing.

The bridge represents a vital link between two distinct Tokyo communities, each maintaining their local traditions and contributing to the urban landscape.

Both sides of the bridge have pedestrian pathways, making it easy for people to walk safely between the districts. The structure accommodates daily foot traffic and provides convenient access to nearby transit stations.

The bridge features a cantilever suspension design with steel reinforcement beams, making it appear like a suspension bridge while technically being a girder structure.
