On March 1, the upper deck expressway of the Rainbow Bridge was closed to traffic for the “Tokyo Rainbow Walk.” The event was organized by the TMG and the Japan Walking Association to gain support for the bid to host the 2016 Olympics. The approximately 7-kilometer course started from the Odaiba Marine Park in Minato Ward, crossing the Rainbow Bridge and then doubling back. Despite rainy weather, the enthusiasm for Tokyo’s Olympic bid was high among the approximately 5,000 participants, some even in wheelchairs and on crutches.
