Tsuruyabashi Bridge Replacement Business

Shimbashi was opened on September 29, 2017. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Tsuruyabashi Bridge is a bridge that connects 2-chome Tsuruyacho, Kanagawa-ku and 1-chome Minamiko, Nishi-ku, and spans the Katabira River branch channel (formerly Aratama River).
More than 50 years have passed since the completion of the old bridge, Tsuruyabashi Bridge, was aging. In addition, the number of pedestrians per day was very large, about 50,000, but the sidewalk was narrow and hindered traffic, so replacement work was carried out.
After the replacement, the sidewalk was widened, earthquake resistance and flood control safety increased, and it was reborn as a safe and secure bridge.

From 2-17 Tsuruyacho, Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama-shi to 1-2 Minamiko, Nishi-ku

From FY2010 to FY2017

・Old Bridge
Bridge length: 25.364ⅿ
Full width: 10.625m (roadway 4.97m, sidewalk 2.64m, 3.015m)

・Shimbashi
Bridge length: 25.4ⅿ
Full width: 15.75m (roadway 4.75m, sidewalk 5.5m x 2)

In order to remove the old bridge, a temporary work road and a temporary sidewalk will be constructed as a detour for pedestrians.

Remove the superstructure (bridge girder / floor slab) and the substructure (bridge / abutment) of the old bridge.

The substructure of the new bridge (abutment) will be constructed.

A new bridge superstructure (bridge girder / floor slab) will be produced and installed at the site.

After the superstructure of the new bridge is installed, the temporary work platform and the temporary sidewalk, which will be a pedestrian detour, will be removed.

The bridge and surrounding areas are paved with asphalt to complete the new Tsuruyabashi Bridge.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.
