Of the 10 construction sections in the prefecture, only 5 have begun excavation work. The Hiyoshi Tunnel Minamigaito construction section (Mizunami City, approx. 7.4 km), the first in the prefecture, began construction in 2016, but only 40% of the tunnel has been excavated.

 With the 2027-year opening date becoming more and more difficult, Governor Hajime Furuta is emphasizing safety regardless of the opening date, saying, "The sooner we get there, the better. With the start of construction of the Shizuoka construction zone still uncertain and the timing of the opening of the new line unclear, the prefecture will proceed to rethink its strategy for the utilization of the linear line. The prefecture will incorporate perspectives such as After Corona and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into the strategy. The plan is to make the image released by JR Tokai on the same day more concrete.
