Tokyo, Japan's Bridges: Chuo Bridge across the Sumida River (2)

June 2011 (35.672 Degrees, 139.784 Degrees) Chuo Bridge

A closer look at the Chuo Bridge. The cables are in a fan arrangement of two parallel rows. The cables go through holes the middle of the tower and are anchored to the outer edges of the bridge deck. The tower legs are supported on a wide concrete caisson and go through pedestrian viewing areas in the deck. The two spans are unbalanced with the tower much closer to the west end of the bridge.
