Tokyo, Japan's Bridges: Senju Shioiri Bridge across the Sumida River

March 2012 (35.741 Degrees, 139.812 Degrees) Senju Shioiri Bridge

Continuing upstream along the Sumida River we come to the Senju Shiori Bridge. This is a continuous two-span steel box girder bridge. According to an article by Urata Tamotsu and others at the Miyaji Iron Works, this bridge was erected by the barge pulling method. The superstructure sat on a barge and they waited for high tide to raise it onto the substructure. It is a 541 ft long three lane bridge completed in 2006.
