Tokyo Gate Bridge

Tokyo Gate Bridge (東京ゲートブリッジ, Tōkyō gēto burijji) is a truss cantilever bridge across Tokyo Bay in Kōtō, Tokyo, Japan. It opened on 12 February 2012 with an estimated total construction cost of ¥113,000,000,000 (equivalent to ¥119,120,400,000 in 2019) for the Stage II section of highway including the bridge.

History

Part of a new four-lane highway ringing Tokyo, construction began in 2002 and was scheduled for completion in 2011, but the opening to traffic was delayed until 2012. With the provisional name of Tokyo Bay Waterfront Bridge (東京港臨海大橋, Tōkyōwan rinkai ōhashi) the public was asked for suggestions. From the 12,223 received, "Tokyo Gate Bridge" was chosen and officially announced on 15 November 2010.

Design

The design fulfils the requirement to be high enough to allow large ships to pass underneath, but low enough not to interfere with air traffic to the nearby Haneda Airport. It is a double cantilever bridge, which means that the truss sections from either side can be completed in balance, and then joined by the addition of the relatively short central span. The resemblance of the bridge to two monsters facing off has given it the nickname of 'Dinosaur Bridge' (恐竜橋, Kyōryū-bashi)

海面からざっと60メートル強。なかなかの眺望だが、橋の中央部からは桁や街路灯などが適度に邪魔して、写真撮りにくい。

2匹の恐竜が向い合っているような形なのは、上を飛ぶ飛行機を考えて、ベイブリッジやレインボーのように上にそびえ立つ部分をペコンと折ってるからだそうです。
