Posted: 1. Oct 2021, 00:02
On the 30th, JR Tokai announced the completion of the Higashi-Yurigaoka Emergency Exit (Asao-ku, Kawasaki City), a shaft that will serve as a construction base for the Central Linear Railway. In urban areas, the linear line will run "deep underground," more than 40 meters below the surface. The shafts are used to lower shield machines for tunneling, and will serve as emergency exits after the opening.
According to JR Tokai, the Higashi-Yurigaoka emergency exit has a diameter of about 32 meters and a depth of about 94 meters; construction began in February 2017 and was completed on the 13th of last month. It is the fourth of 13 shafts to be completed in Tokyo, Kanagawa, and Aichi. The shield machines are scheduled to be delivered around January next year.
