The Sendai Metropolitan Area Expressway Ring Network (hereinafter referred to as "Guruto Sendai" *) is the Sendai city formed by Tohoku Expressway, Sendai Sendai-Hokubu Road, Sendai-Tobu Road, Sanriku Coastal Road (Senen Road), and Sendai-Nanbu Road It is a circular road exclusively for automobiles with a total circumference of approximately 60 km.
As 10 years have passed since the opening Sendai-Hokubu Road, which forms part of "Guru Miyako Sendai," we have once again summarized the functions and development effects of "Guru Miyako Sendai" in the form of an "Impact Report." I will let you know.
- ``Guruto Sendai'' is a nickname chosen by the ``Sendai Metropolitan Area Expressway Ring Network Nickname Selection Committee'' in September 2010.
Summary of maintenance effects
- ``Guru Miyako Sendai'' is a network that was gradually formed starting with the opening of Tohoku Expressway between Sendai Minami IC and Izumi IC in 1975. By using Sendai, the capital, traffic is diverted from general roads within the ring road and traffic congestion within the ring road is alleviated.
- Improvements in the accessibility of wide-area transportation through ``Guru Miyako Sendai'' are ``driving local industry,'' ``promoting wide-area inter-regional exchange,'' ``supporting advanced medical activities,'' ``strengthening disaster prevention network functions,'' and ``reducing environmental impact.'' ”and various other stock effects.
- With the cooperation of ``77 Research & Consulting Co., Ltd.,'' we have calculated the economic ripple effect of the improved accessibility of Gurutto Sendai from its first opening in 1975 to 2022. Over 48 years, it has amounted to approximately 16.4 trillion yen, supporting the local economy of the Sendai metropolitan area.
