Linear Chuo Shinkansen “Complete in 2031 with partial construction in Yamanashi and Nagano”. JR Tokai announced last week that it would abandon its goal of opening in 2027.
This is the first time that a construction period beyond 2027 has been set. Governor Kawakatsu of Shizuoka Prefecture, who has not approved construction, has announced his intention to resign. Even if it were to start construction now, it would not open until 2034.
