The New Transit Yurikamome (formerly called Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Waterfront Line) is an automated guideway transit, Tokyo's first fully automated transit system, sometimes mistaken as a monorail but the trains run with rubber-tires wheels on elevated concrete track guided by the side walls. This transit system runs in the lower deck of the Rainbow Bridge with walkways on the outer side.

    There is very little or no information regarding the construction details about the Loop bridge.
    There is more information found on the transit system and the functioning of the trains.
