New Tomei Expressway opens. Expected to be 2023, 3 years behind, August 28, 5:40
Regarding the Shin-Tomei Expressway, which aims to open all lines in FY2020, the Nakanihon Expressway will be delayed by three years, assuming that it will take more time for construction, such as the fact that the fault extends beyond the expected range. Announced the outlook for FY2023.
The Shin-Tomei Expressway is an expressway with a total length of more than 250 km that connects Kanagawa Prefecture and Aichi Prefecture. Construction of the remaining 47.5 km section that connects Isehara City and Gotemba City, Shizuoka Prefecture is underway.
According to the Central Japan Expressway, we aimed to open the whole line in 2020, but the site was found in Kanagawa Prefecture, and it was necessary to investigate a large amount of buried cultural assets, and the fault spread beyond the expected range. It means that it takes more time for work and construction.
Along with this, the schedule for opening all lines of the Shin-Tomei Expressway was changed to 2023, three years later, and notified the relevant local governments.
The Nakanihon Expressway said, “We are aware of the high expectations of the local area for the Shin-Tomei Expressway, and will be inconvenienced by the delay of the opening of the entire line. I will do it. "
