A new bridge, the Nakadōri Walking Bridge, opened on 31 July 2026 over the Nihonbashi River, which runs through Chiyoda City, Tokyo. The bridge was installed to connect waterways in the northeastern part of Chiyoda City with surrounding roads.
The Nihonbashi River flourished as a major artery for water transport during the Edo period and also served as a canal during the Meiji period. The new bridge is positioned as part of a modern reconfiguration of this waterway network.
