What is the Rainbow Bridge?
The Rainbow Bridge, opened in 1993, is a large double-layered suspension bridge connecting the Shibaura and Daiba districts of Tokyo's Minato Ward.
It boasts a height of 126 meters, almost the same as a 40-story skyscraper, and a total length of 798 meters. The upper level of the bridge carries the Expressway No. 11 Daiba Line and the Rinko Highway. On the lower level, there is a promenade open to everyone free of charge and the tracks of the new Yurikamome transportation system, which serves as a key transportation link between central Tokyo and the Odaiba area.
