Road collapse Chofu City asks expressway companies and the government to investigate the cause, etc. October 20, 18:27
On the 18th, in response to the discovery of a road collapse in a residential area in Chofu City, Tokyo, a request was made to the expressway company, etc., where the city was constructing an underground tunnel, to promptly investigate and investigate the cause. I submitted.
On the 18th, a road was found to be depressed over a width of 5 meters in a residential area in Chofu City, Tokyo.
The East Nippon Expressway, which has been constructing a tunnel underground near the site, has indicated a policy of investigating the cause after not knowing the causal relationship with the construction.
On the 20th, the person in charge of the national government and the highway company visited the city hall and explained the current situation, and then Mayor Yoshiki Nagatomo handed over the request.
It is regrettable that complaints such as noise and vibration were received from around August, and the depression was found even though we repeatedly requested efforts to ensure the safety of the citizens.
After that, we request that the cause be investigated at an early stage, and if the depression is related to the construction work, the residents should be carefully explained about measures to prevent recurrence and the anxiety should be resolved.
Mayor Nagatomo said, "While the survey is being conducted, we would like to respond appropriately to the concerns of the residents and, if necessary, keep in touch with other local governments where the same tunnel construction will be carried out."
