Six major companies jointly launch new project to support local governments to address aging infrastructure issues. The aging of infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, and water supplies that were built during the period of high economic growth has become an issue across the country.
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is spending up to 284 trillion yen on maintenance and renewal of infrastructure nationwide over the 30 years until 2048. The six companies position their business as a "platformer" that provides comprehensive support for infrastructure updates and management.
