The ruling party's review committee was held to discuss the issue of unconstructed sections in Saga prefecture on the Kyushu Shinkansen / West Kyushu route, and the ruling party also held a discussion on measures to reduce the cost burden in Saga prefecture and the ideal way of parallel conventional lines. The policy as is to be summarized.
Of the Kyushu Shinkansen / West Kyushu route, the section between Takeo Onsen and Nagasaki in Saga Prefecture will open around next fall, while the section between Shintorisu and Takeo Onsen in Saga Prefecture will be over the method and cost burden of railroads and vehicles. Discussions between the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and Saga Prefecture are following parallel lines.
To discuss this issue, a meeting of a review committee made up of members of the ruling party's parliament was held in Tokyo on the 11th.
In order to reduce the burden on Saga Prefecture, the review committee will expand the allocation tax measures in which the government takes over part of the construction cost, and will not impair the convenience of parallel conventional lines even after the opening of the Shinkansen. The policy is to require JR Kyushu to be involved in management.
On the 11th, it was confirmed that these contents will be summarized as the ruling party's policy at the meeting of the ruling party's project team scheduled for the 14th next week.
On this issue, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism would like to show Saga Prefecture the cost of constructing three routes and estimate the local economic effect when it is constructed with the same "full standard" as the normal Shinkansen, and proceed with discussions. ..
