Regarding the burden of project costs that will increase due to the delay in opening the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Kanazawa and Tsuruga, it is being considered a plan to ask Fukui prefecture for about 8 billion yen and Ishikawa prefecture for about 4 billion yen. I understand.

Final coordination is expected at a meeting of the ruling party's project team on the afternoon of the 16th.

On the 15th, the ruling party's project team accepted a plan to delay the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Kanazawa and Tsuruga for about a year, as indicated by the verification committee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and to increase the additional project cost to about 265.8 billion yen. I did.



Along with this, at the prospect that swell to the project cost more than 300 billion yen prospect of financial resources is not set, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is a policy to cover this out at least 150 billion yen in such as JR pay line of the usage fee.



According to the people concerned in Fukui Prefecture, a plan to ask Fukui Prefecture to bear about 8 billion yen and Ishikawa Prefecture to bear about 4 billion yen is being considered after taking measures to reduce the burden on the local community for the remaining project costs. I found out that.



The ruling party's project team plans to make final adjustments at a meeting starting on the afternoon of the 16th.
