罰ゲームルーレットサイト Construction of Urban Railways

Urban Railways

Eastern Kanagawa Rail Link
(Sotetsu-JR Link Line / Sotetsu-Tokyu Link Line）

Outline

罰ゲームルーレットサイト Sotetsu-JR link line project is to construct a 2.7km of connecting line from Nishiya of Sotetsu line and Yokohama Hazawa of JR East's Tokaido freight line. 罰ゲームルーレットサイト link line enables to operate through service between through 罰ゲームルーレットサイト two lines. 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Sotetsu-Tokyu link line project is to construct a 10km of connecting line from Yokohama Hazawa of JR East's Tokaido freight line and Hiyoshi of Tokyu line.

Passengers on 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Sotetsu line for Tokyo once used to transfer at Yokohama to other Tokyo-bound lines such as JR East and Tokyu. Thanks to 罰ゲームルーレットサイト new links, Sotetsu train can directly go onto Tokyo-bound lines without transfer and thus mobility of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト people along 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Sotetsu line is drastically improved. Another feature of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Sotetsu-Tokyu link line is 'connection to Shin-Yokohama station' which is a major gateway for 罰ゲームルーレットサイト city of Yokohama on 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Tokaido Shinkansen.

This project is based on "罰ゲームルーレットサイト Act on Enhancement of Convenience of Urban Railways, etc. " 罰ゲームルーレットサイト aim of this project is to increase 罰ゲームルーレットサイト convenience of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト targeted railway lines. In this development scheme, rail infrastructure is constructed and owned by public entity, while trains are operated by railway companies.

Construction of Elevated Echizen Railway

罰ゲームルーレットサイト Fukui prefecture had planned to elevate three lines of Echizen Railway as a part of a project to create consecutive grade-separating viaducts in 罰ゲームルーレットサイト vicinity of Fukui Station.
In September 2013, Echizen Railway Company asked JRTT to perform 罰ゲームルーレットサイト elevation construction, which involves rerouting 罰ゲームルーレットサイト original ground-level line (in yellow) to a temporary line on 罰ゲームルーレットサイト future Hokuriku Shinkansen Viaduct (in blue), and then building viaducts for 罰ゲームルーレットサイト new line (in red) over 罰ゲームルーレットサイト original line.
罰ゲームルーレットサイト temporary line on 罰ゲームルーレットサイト future Shinkansen viaducts started operation in September 2015. 罰ゲームルーレットサイト new line was completed and opened in 2018.

Track construction of Fukui Station

Tsukuba Express Line

罰ゲームルーレットサイト Tsukuba Express Line is a 58-km railway that travels up to 130 km/h to connect Akihabara to Tsukuba Science City in 45 minutes. Since its opening on August 24, 2005, 罰ゲームルーレットサイト line has provided a highly convenient, improved transportation system and commuters' comfort into 罰ゲームルーレットサイト northeastern part of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト capital by easing congestion of existing transportations.
Thanks to this line, high quality of convenience and promptness spur 罰ゲームルーレットサイト provision of housing and large shopping malls along 罰ゲームルーレットサイト line, thus produced a 120% increase in 罰ゲームルーレットサイト number of passengers in 罰ゲームルーレットサイト line's first 11 years since opening.
Tackling to increasing congestion of this line, in March 2013, 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Metropolitan Intercity Railway Company commissioned JRTT to construct additional track to a spur line from Moriya Station to a rolling stock depot. 罰ゲームルーレットサイト original spur line was a single track, and 罰ゲームルーレットサイト second line was added to extend functions of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト rolling stock depot. We completed 罰ゲームルーレットサイト construction and 罰ゲームルーレットサイト new line went into service in March 2017.

Sendai Subway Tozai Line

罰ゲームルーレットサイト Sendai Subway Tozai Line is 14.4km long municipal subway which connects Zoological Park Area in 罰ゲームルーレットサイト southwestern part and expressway interchange area in 罰ゲームルーレットサイト eastern part in 罰ゲームルーレットサイト city of Sendai.
Completion of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Tozai Line (which means 'east and west') makes up a fundamental transportation network of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト city with previously constructed subway Namboku Line (which means 'north and south'). JRTT constructed 4.3km long western segment of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト line. Notable civil structures of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト line are, Station Tunnel with large cross section excavated by NATM (Sequential Excavation Method), 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Tatsunokuchi Double Deck Truss Bridge which contains railway and road, and 57‰ steep section at 罰ゲームルーレットサイト western end of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト line whose elevation difference reaches 110m.
Train sets are propelled by 罰ゲームルーレットサイト linear motor system which makes it available to climb 罰ゲームルーレットサイト steep gradient and downsize 罰ゲームルーレットサイト cross section of tunnels and reduce 罰ゲームルーレットサイト total cost.

Narita Sky Access Line

罰ゲームルーレットサイト Narita Sky Access Line is an airport access railway that connects Narita Airport, 罰ゲームルーレットサイト main gateway to Japan and to central Tokyo. 罰ゲームルーレットサイト 51.4-km line opened on July 17, 2010.

Reconstruction of Railways after 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Great East Japan Earthquake

Sanriku Railway 'Rias line' was originally planned as a National Railway line along 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Sanriku Rias Coast in 1960s. Though some sections were completed by JRCC (Japan Railway Construction Public Corporation, former entity of JRTT), construction of other parts was once abandoned due to 罰ゲームルーレットサイト privatization of National Railways.
To revive 罰ゲームルーレットサイト whole plan of 罰ゲームルーレットサイト line, local municipalities along 罰ゲームルーレットサイト line were cooperatively established half-governmental 'Sanriku Railway Company' in 1981. 罰ゲームルーレットサイト company commissioned JRCC again to construct 罰ゲームルーレットサイト other parts and opened 'Kita-Rias line' and 'Minami-Rias line' in 1985. (Intervening section had been previously operated by National Railways and was transferred to successor JR East.)
In 2011, enormous tsunami waves generated by 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Great East Japan Earthquake devastated 罰ゲームルーレットサイト Sanriku Railway lines.
On November 1, 2011, Sanriku Railway commissioned JRTT to reconstruct 罰ゲームルーレットサイト railway. This works mainly consisted of recovering embankments, tracks and communication cables swept away by 罰ゲームルーレットサイト tsunami waves, rebuilding stations and bridges, and repairing bridges damaged by 罰ゲームルーレットサイト earthquake. Operation on 罰ゲームルーレットサイト lines resumed in some phases until 罰ゲームルーレットサイト lines were fully reopened in 2014.
