On Saturday with friends I walked across the new Gate Bridge that crosses Tokyo Bay. The bridge opened just in February. It is 1600 meters one way and when we got to the other side we walked back. This is a photo I took before we got on the bridge.
This is a photo of the Rainbow Bridge that also crosses Tokyo Bay. We walked across it from Obaiba on Saturday and I took this photo. I also walked across it in 1996. This bridge opened in 1993. I remember back in the early 1990s when I lived in Tokyo that it was under construction.
Here is a photo I took of the Rainbow Bridge under construction in 1991:

Thanks for this post! I was digitizing a 1990s Japanese drama that showed what I thought was Rainbow Bridge under construction, but not being from Japan needed some more verification. Your photo shows what seems like the same progress shown in the clip. If you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4jYj3bnF8o Thanks again!
Josh, I am glad my old 1991 photo was helpful. Yes, that is the Rainbow Bridge.
