Tokyo Prefecture. Japan Bridges; Shinagawa Station Pedestrian Overcrossing

November 2013 (35.62933 Degrees, 139.73755 Degrees) Shinagawa Station POC

Greetings from Tokyo. I just had time to photograph a wraparound pedestrian overcrossing (POC) at Shinagawa Train Station before the start of our tour of the Honshu Shikoku Bridges far to the southwest.

The POC has a steel box girder span across Daichi Keihin Road and steel stringer spans across the side streets. The complicated structure is supported on steel columns (and adjacent buildings?). This POC is old and not particularly attractive, but it does show the willingness of Tokyo to spend money on infrastructure to protect its citizens.
