Rainbow Bridge links Central Tokyo to the
man-made islands of Daiba, and carries a motorway, an ordinary dual
carriageway and the Yurikamome unmanned railway system.
Though quite why it is "rainbow" is anyone's
guess, given that it is not even vaguely semi-circular, nor
colourful...nor gender diverse...
I suppose it would not have quite the same
ring to it if named the "Slightly Curved Central Span Bridge". |
