Tokyo Expressway will abolish the Tokyo Expressway (KK Line) on April 5 at 8 PM.
The route, which opened fully in 1966, is a free motorway about 2 kilometers long. Below the road, 14 rental spaces were integrated into the structure, with rental income covering the construction and maintenance costs, allowing free public access.
The sections to be abolished include the area around Kyobashi Junction (JCT) to Shiodome JCT, the Shimbashi exit, the Tsubohashi entrance, the Nishi-Ginza entrance, and the Shinkyobashi exit. Additionally, the Kanda-bashi JCT to Nishi-Ginza JCT of the Metropolitan Expressway Yaesu Line, as well as the Yaesu entrance and Marunouchi exit, will be closed from 8 PM on April 5 until the 2035 fiscal year.
Due to the project to underground the Nihonbashi section of the Metropolitan Expressway and the development of the new central loop route ‘Shinkyobashi Link Road (Underground),’ the significance of its role within the urban expressway network has greatly diminished. Therefore, except for the Higashi-Ginza exit, it will be abolished. After abolition, based on Tokyo’s policy, it will be developed as a ‘pedestrian-centered public space.’
