Tokyo Photo Gallery

February 2009
The Bayshore Route leading directly to the city center

The Shinonome Junction (Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway No.10 Harumi Route, Toyosu ramp) opened to traffic on February 11. Running from the left to right under the grade-separated interchange in the foreground is the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Bayshore Route. The Ginza area can be seen in the background, and to the far left is Tokyo Tower. With the opening of this junction, cars from the Yokohama and Chiba areas can avoid passing through the often-congested Hamazaki-bashi, Hakozaki, and Edobashi junctions and go straight to the center of Tokyo.
