At the start of the meeting, Takeshi Matsumoto, Director of the Kanto Road Development Bureau, said, "I hope that the project will proceed smoothly through this conference."
The bridge deck is about 55m wide, about 400m long, the total area after completion is about 2 hectares. The plan was to proceed with the installation in stages. One hectare in the north side will be put into use in the second half of the 2020s, and a north-south deck network in the direction of Takanawa Gate Station and Kita-Shinagawa Station will be built in the second half of the 30s. Ultimately, the deck will connects the redevelopment area of the station's west exit across National Highway 15 from the east and west side of Shinagawa Station, and organically connects the transportation network to the surrounding area through the intersection square. deck communication, as in the "Michiue" concept. Become a big establishment.
It was first revealed that the design concept was to have a large canopy over the deck. Relying on the "square" has the characteristics of an iconic busy space. Also, as a feature of "Shinagawa", we intend to create a space that inherits "the history of the town" by imagining the old Tokaido Shinagawa inn.
As an interchange, we aim to create a next-generation transportation terminal that combines GX (Green Transition) and MaaS (Mobile Services).
The detailed design of the 1 hectare deck on the north side, which will be first developed, will begin in 2011. At the same time, we will begin the architectural design of the building in the same year. Business promotion meeting is held about once a year to share results in coordination with redevelopment around. The idea is to promote smooth business.
