Pedestrian Bridge between Route 357 and Ring Road No.7
Route 357 and Ring Road No.7 had a level crossing here until 2002. A document of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport says the crossing was a cause of big traffic jam. Now Route 357 and its sidewalks are moved to an overpass above Ring Road No.7 and the traffic jam disappeared.
It looks like the space under the overpass is not enough to have a pedestrian bridge under it. The reason should be Shutoko (metropolitan expressway) Wangan Line. The elevated expressway had already existed when the overpass was designed. It defined the height of the overpass.
