JR East will conduct intensive construction work using continuous daytime and nighttime work hours between Tokyo and Shinagawa stations on the Yokosuka Line on September 5.
As a result, train services operating through this section will be suspended. Trains from the Chiba area will turn back at Tokyo Station, while trains from the Kurihama area will turn back at Shinagawa Station; therefore, there will be no service reductions in other sections due to the construction work. No alternative transportation on other railway operators will be provided. Passengers traveling between Tokyo and Shinagawa stations are encouraged to use the Tokaido Line, Yamanote Line, or Keihin-Tohoku Line.
Limited Express Narita Express services will also be suspended all day between Tokyo and Shinjuku/O-funa stations. In addition, on September 4, services Nos. 46, 50, 52, and 54 between Tokyo and O-funa stations, and services Nos. 46, 48, 50, 52, and 54 between Tokyo and Shinjuku stations, will be partially suspended. On September 6, services Nos. 1, 3, 5, and 7 between O-funa and Tokyo stations, as well as service No. 1 between Shinjuku and Tokyo stations, will also be partially suspended.
JR East says that promoting mechanization by making use of the work period will enable tunnel repair work and routine maintenance to be carried out quickly and efficiently, improving safety and service reliability.
