TOKYO - A new pedestrian bridge has opened across the Nihonbashi River, connecting the Otemachi-Marunouchi business district with the neighboring Kanda area as part of a redevelopment project aimed at improving access and revitalizing central Tokyo. The newly opened Nakadori Promenade Bridge was developed through a partnership between Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward and Mitsubishi Estate. The project effectively extends Nakadori, a major street running through Otemachi and Marunouchi, toward Kanda, making it easier for pedestrians to move between the two districts and encouraging greater activity throughout the area. A barrier-free emergency pier has also been constructed along the Nihonbashi River. During disasters, the pier is expected to serve as a supplementary transportation base for moving personnel and supplies, strengthening the area's emergency response capabilities.
