TOKYO G - LINE STORY
The highway loop (C1) got 3.2 billion dollars budget to be partially buried underground where it is covering the historical bridge, “Nihonbashi”. However, is it really the right decision to spend that much money for this project? It is very possible that we are putting a huge amount of money to something that could be obsolete as soon as it got built in 20 years.
On top of the fact that existing infrastructure with 3 new highway loops, C2 completed, and C3, C4 will be completed soon, the rapid development of the advanced technologies will reduce the amount of cars and traffic jam which could diminish the demand for C1.
