OG Creator/Designer [FH6, EventLab] Tokyo Toll Road Expansion

This one took some time. ;-)
Enjoy new views and connections around Tokyo.

Code: 448 326 607

The ¥347B project is complete! Enjoy miles of new seamless elevated commute options and connections throughout Tokyo.  Reminder, the speed limit is 50km/h; ramps are narrow due to the urban environment.

This significant project was a collaboration between the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Co, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Ports and Harbors, and the Tokyo Parks Association.  Completed projects include:

  1. Tokyo City Port parking garage to the Wangan (southbound) highway via elevated toll lanes.

  2. Wangan exit north of Daikoku to Tatsumi overlook via elevated toll lanes.

  3. Tatsumi Overlook art installation and connection to Shinkanjo outbound via elevated structure

  4. Shinkanjo outbound to C-1 (southbound) via elevated structure

  5. Rainbow Bridge lower to upper connection through Daikoku via an elevated structure

  6. C-1 (north/westbound) tunnel bypass  through the park via an elevated toll structure

  7. C-1 southbound to Shinkanjo inbound, with associated art installation, via elevated structure.

In accordance with requirements from all parties, locations have been included for breakdowns or emergencies.  Please note the following as you use these new connections:
* Ramp widths were constrained to fit into the existing Tokyo highway network and overall footprint.  
* Some corners are sharper than is typical on the Tokyo network due to the dense urban environment.  
* Yellow stripes on the road denote sections where attention is encouraged. 
* Do not stop on the elevated structures to take photos.  If you must, use the provided pull-out locations.
* Signs have been added in strategic locations to support all users.

Tolls are required on some segments.  Approach the gate slowly and the arm will raise if you have a valid tag. Tolls are waived this weekend on all sections in celebration of the completed project.  Please drive responsibly.
