調布橋, Steel bridge in Ome, Japan.
The Chofu Bridge spans the Tama River and connects the eastern and western parts of Ome with a steel structure that carries both vehicles and pedestrians. It provides access to residential neighborhoods on both sides of the river.
The bridge was built in the mid-20th century to support Ome's growing transportation needs as the city developed. It was part of a larger plan to improve infrastructure across the river.
The bridge serves as a gathering point where local people watch the Tama River landscape change through the seasons, especially when cherry blossoms turn the banks pink in spring.
The bridge is easy for pedestrians to access and offers clear paths on both sides, making crossing straightforward. The best time to walk across is early morning or late afternoon when traffic is lighter.
A water level monitoring station at the bridge sends real-time data every 10 minutes to the Keihin River Office. This constant tracking helps detect flood risks before they become dangerous.
