Description
Looking west from close to the sidewalk on the north side of the central part of Aioi Bridge. The rainwater drainpipe in the foreground was ejected from the sidewalk due to the blast reflecting off the water. The gap caused by the blast between the roadway and the sidewalk on the north side of the bridge was up to 1.4 meters wide. The Hiroshima Electric Railway streetcar shows how operations were resumed after the completion of restoration work on the track at the west end of Aioi Bridge.
