Description

Description

The project consists of a section of expressway extending approximately 161 km from the western suburbs of Tokyo to the city of Shizuoka, constituting part of the 536 km Tokyo-Kobe Expressway. The works include the construction of earthworks, structures, paving, interchanges, service areas, bus stops, toll stations, traffic control facilities and connection links with the existing road network. The latest estimate of total cost, including interest during construction, of the project indicates an overall increase of only 2 1/2 percent over the 1963 cost estimate, and now stands at US$640 million. The remaining cost of the project will be financed through government grants and loans and the sale of road bonds. Despite the slight increase in costs and lower revenue estimates, the project is financially sound.
