Where the Hirase River Flows into the Tama River 3
This part did not exist when Typhoon Hagibis hit Tokyo in 2019 October.
The bridge near the right edge of this photo is on the top of the embankment of the Tama River. The Hirase River cut the embankment here. Since its embankment was not as high as the embankment of the Tama River, this area was vulnerable to the flood. Kawasaki City is planning to raise the embankment in the future, but it will take some time. So, the city made some temporary embankment as a short-term solution.
The spot shown in this photo was built as a part of the temporary embankment. Near the other end of the bridge, there is a wall. It should be also part of the temporary embankment of the Hirase River.
