1. Purpose and story of production
It takes about 30 years from the survey to the opening of the road, and it is a road built on the ocean by gathering the latest technology. As a result of the direct connection and the drastic reduction in mileage and time, it has contributed to the revitalization of local commercial and industrial activities.
The opening of the Aqua Line and the connection of both banks of Tokyo Bay (Kanagawa and Chiba) has created new connections and exchanges of things.
In this animated video "Thank you for 20 years, and from now on", the two protagonists (Yosuke and Hikari) who live on both banks meet at Umihotaru, make a proposal, and visit with the boy (Ryo) between them. , This time, Ryo experiences a new encounter with a girl (Haruka).
From this story, we will link the two banks of Tokyo Bay and promote that exchange, so that we can imagine the role that Aqua - line has played and will continue to create "value" "NEXCO EAST Group" We hope you feel our thought that you will make efforts to provide customers with safe, secure, comfortable and convenient expressway spaces 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to realize the management vision of is.
