JR Central will install platform screen doors on the Tokaido Shinkansen platforms at Shizuoka and Toyohashi stations.
The project will cover Platforms 5 and 6 at Shizuoka Station and Platforms 12 and 13 at Toyohashi Station. Construction will begin in phases from September at Shizuoka Station and from February 2027 at Toyohashi Station. The platform screen doors are scheduled to enter service in phases by around March 2029. Construction costs are estimated at approximately 4.7 billion yen.
On the Tokaido Shinkansen, platform screen doors have been installed primarily at Nozomi stopping stations with high passenger volumes, excluding Platform 22 at Shinagawa Station. To further improve safety on platforms, JR Central announced plans in 2022 to install platform screen doors at all Shinkansen stations and has been proceeding with related studies.
JR Central will also announce the timing of construction work for platform screen door installations at stations other than Shizuoka and Toyohashi as details are finalized.
