| Abstract: |
An elevated railway structure 2.5 km long was constructed in a JR Tohoku Line section including Nagamachi Station. The main considerations of this project were to minimize adverse environmental impact and improve the scenery of the district, while reducing work and concrete volumes. To achieve these targets, newly developed technologies were fully utilized. As a result, the project was completed at reduced cost, within a shorter period of time, and satisfied environmental concerns. |
