Probably the most famous bridge in Tokyo, Rainbow bridge was opened in 1993 and it connects Shibaura district in Minato ward and Daiba district in Minato and Koto wards. The official name is Tokyo port connector bridge, which hardly no one uses.
The bridge is 798 meters long and its roadway is 52 meters above sea level. It has two decks, the upper deck is for Shuto Expressway, which drivers have to pay tolls and lower deck is for Yurikamome rapid transit system and Tokyo prefectural road, which does not charge any toll. Also there are walkways on each side of the lower deck.
Rainbow bridge can be clearly watch from several places in Tokyo, also from Tokyo monorail between Haneda airport and Hamamatsu-cho station.
