Tsurumigawa Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Yokohama, Japan.
Tsurumigawa Bridge is a cable-stayed structure that crosses the Tsurumi River in Yokohama, connecting two neighborhoods with a main span and supporting side sections. The bridge accommodates vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians moving across the river throughout the day.
The bridge opened in 1994, significantly improving transportation links in the city as Yokohama continued to develop its port area. Its completion connected two important neighborhoods that previously had limited direct access.
The bridge serves as a place where residents gather to celebrate seasonal events, with views across Yokohama Port shaping how the community uses this space. These occasions reveal how the structure has become woven into the rhythm of neighborhood life.
The bridge is easily accessible by public transportation from several nearby stations, making it convenient to visit on foot. Walking across offers clear views of the port and river with safe designated paths for pedestrians.
The structure was engineered to flex and remain stable during strong winds and busy shipping activity in the port, rather than remaining rigid. This design choice allows it to absorb forces naturally without compromising safety.
