2 What is Aqualine Expedition
"How did you build bridges and tunnels in the sea? ], "How thick is the wall of an undersea tunnel?" , "If a traffic accident or fire should occur in the undersea tunnel, where would you escape?"・・・・・・The Tokyo Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line Expressway, which crosses Tokyo Bay with a bridge and a submarine tunnel, has many construction measures and safety measures that are not generally known.
In this year's Aqualine expedition, we will explore the inside of the ship and the backyard of the Expressway that we can not usually enter, such as the visit of the guest room of the special boat "Hashidate" of the Maritime Self-Defense Force Yokosuka Guard General Department Yokosuka Guard, We approach the real image of an unknown aqua line.
From this time, there are many things that you can not usually experience, such as a test drive of a "lift truck" with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay.
The Aqualine Expedition is an event that will be held as part of the 2014 Summer Festival in Umihotaru on Thursday, August 7. Details of "2014 Summer Festival in Umihotaru" will be announced later.
