- Also, already acquired There are illegally-occupied properties that hinder construction, such as construction of deck-shaped structures within the business site. However, we are currently considering measures including legal measures, but it is expected that it will take some time before it is resolved.

Takao, based on the opinion of the Tunnel Technology Review Committee (chairperson: Toru Imada, Professor Emeritus of Tokyo Metropolitan University), we made further improvements to the still-water construction method. However, we have decided to carefully proceed with the construction, taking all possible measures.
