How to get to Yokohama Bay Bridge



About Yokohama Bay Bridge

Yokohama Bay Bridge is a 3-span double-hinged steel truss girder suspension bridge for both public and railway use, which was completed and opened to traffic in 1994 and is located in the sub-center of Tokyo Bay.

The bridge has a main span of 570m, with a 4-lane expressway on the upper deck and a 2-lane arterial highway and 2 light rail tracks on the lower deck. The bridge is located over the Tokyo Bay waterway, an important gateway to and from the Tokyo Bay area, and its ornamental qualities are particularly important.

In response, the bridge landscape design, including nighttime landscape lighting, was evaluated and analyzed from different perspectives during the detailed design phase. In response to the relatively short span length of the Rainbow Bridge, a horizontal plate was added between the two strands of the main cable saddle to increase the friction between the main cable and the top of the tower after installation.
