As a landmark of Tokyo Bay, we have renewed the lighting facilities of the entire Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line Expressway Aquabridge (bridge section 4.4 km), which is a bridge between Tokyo and Kanagawa and the Boso area.
At the time of renewal, we have introduced low-position LED lighting to reduce CO2 emissions and power consumption and improve nighttime driving inducibility.
We apologize for the inconvenience to our customers during the construction period, but we are pleased to inform you that it is now safer and more secure to use.
With such a long bridge over the sea, the installation of low-position LED lighting over a total length of 4.4 km is the longest on the Japanese Expressway.
