The Ohashi Junction (大橋ジャンクション) is a covered one-quadrant Interchange of the Shuto Expressway system in Tokyo. It connects the Shibuya Route and the Central Circular Route (C2). It was partially opened in 2010 and fully completed in 2015. The completed interchange links the Central Circular Route (Shuto Expressway) through the Yamate Tunnel as far as the Bayshore Route in Shinagawa.^[1]

It is designed to be as compact as possible and environmentally friendly. The Shibuya Route is an elevated highway and the Central Circular Route is underground; the Ohashi junction is a spiral bridge with four loops to allow cars to go between the two. The junction rises to a height of 35m above ground, 36m underground and has a diameter of between 130 and 175 meters.

The Meguro Sky Garden (目黒天空庭園, Meguro Tenkū Teien) is a 7000 m²^[2] linear roof garden park in Ōhashi, Meguro, Tokyo, Japan, constructed over the Ohashi junction rising from 15 to 35 meters above street level. The garden serves as a freeway lid.^[3]

The road junction redevelopment also includes high rise residential housing, retail, a local Meguro government branch office, a library, community meeting rooms and all-weather sports facilities.^[4]
