Kanagawa Hakone National Highway No. 138 partly out of service and route buses also suspended
The main road in Hakone Town, which has reached 1000 millimeters in 48 hours of rainfall due to Typhoon No.19, has been suspended due to a large landslide and partly inaccessible due to a large landslide. , The impact on civic life continues.
According to Kanagawa Prefecture Odawara Civil Engineering Center, due to the heavy rain accompanying this typhoon No. 19, National Road No. 138 is closed for 2.8 km due to a large amount of earth and sand flowing from the mountain slope to the road in Sengokuhara, Hakone.
In the photo taken by the staff of the prefecture that took part in the survey, you can see that a large amount of earth and sand is piled up on the tip of the pole with a large inclination.
In prefecture, we are proceeding with work to remove a large amount of earth and sand, but the scale and overall situation of landslides are not grasped, and there is no prospect of recovery time.
National Route 138 is a highway that crosses Hakone-machi from east to west. Route buses are also suspended on this section, and this affects the lives of residents as well as tourists.
