Linear Chuo Shinkansen Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism proposes to break through JR Tokai at 11:56 on July 9
It became clear that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will make a proposal for overcoming the situation over the construction of the Linear Chuo Shinkansen, which is difficult to discuss between JR Tokai and Shizuoka Prefecture. We ask the JR side not to start the tunnel construction until the necessary procedures are completed, and we ask Shizuoka Prefecture to approve the preparation work for the construction.
Regarding the Linear Chuo Shinkansen, JR Tokai is requesting approval for preparatory work such as the construction of a facility to treat the water generated by the construction for the tunnel construction in Shizuoka Prefecture, but Shizuoka Prefecture is concerned about the impact on water resources. Talks have been difficult because the work has not been approved.
Under these circumstances, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will propose to both parties to proceed promptly in parallel with the discussions at the National Council of Experts, within the scope that the impact on water resources is recognized to be minor. It was
In the proposal, do not start the tunnel excavation work until the necessary discussions and procedures such as discussions at experts' meetings are completed for JR Tokai. In Shizuoka Prefecture, tolerate the rapid implementation of preparatory work, we seek to proceed with the necessary procedures to prospect a month early.
In addition, it is assumed that the JR side will make changes if it becomes necessary to change the facilities, etc. that were prepared during the preparatory work as a result of discussions at the experts' meetings.
With the policy that the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism will explain this proposal directly to President Kaneko of JR Tokai and Governor Kawakatsu of Shizuoka Prefecture, it is expected that a delay in the opening of business in 2027 will be unavoidable, will it lead to a breakthrough? It will be noticed.
