Metropolitan Expressway Co., Ltd. (Shutoko) will discontinue the Shintomicho Exit on the Inner and Outer Circular Routes and begin a long-term closure of the Ginza Entrance on the Inner Circular Route at 11 p.m. on October 18.
The Shintomicho Exit, serving both the Inner and Outer Circular Routes, will be discontinued, while the Ginza Entrance on the Inner Circular Route will be closed for approximately three years. As these entrances and exits will no longer be available, motorists are being advised to use nearby entrances and exits.
The current Shintomicho Exit will be redeveloped as an entrance to replace the Kyobashi Entrance, which must be closed and removed to secure space for connecting the Shin-Kyobashi Link Road. The Ginza Entrance will be subject to a long-term closure for work to replace aging retaining walls and install an additional lane, reducing the current two-lane entrance to one lane.
Work will proceed on the Shin-Kyobashi Link Road project, which will construct a new underground tunnel connecting the Yaesu Route and the Inner Circular Route, as well as a large-scale renewal project for the Tsukijigawa section of the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Inner Circular Route.
The affected section has been in use for more than 60 years since the Kyobashi–Shibaura section opened in 1962.
