Tens of man-made islands have been built in the Tokyo Bay the last 100 years. Today’s front line of the land is about 6 kilometers away from the line in the early 20th century.
A new bridge named “the Tokyo Bay Bridge” was open last February. The bridge links the Wakasu island and Outer Central Breakwater Reclamation Area.
The bridge is a truss bridge. It is sometimes called “the dinosaur bridge” from its shape.
It runs about 61 meter above the sea level (so that large ships can sail). The highest of the bridge is only 87.8 meter (so that it will not make any trouble on the flight to and from the Haneda Airport nearby).
A Rock concert was held in the Wakasu Park, where the bridge starts. People enjoyed fishing in the wharf under the bridge. Airplanes flied over the bridge.
