The Yokohama Northwest Line (Yokohama Kita Line-Tomei Expressway) will open in March 2020.

We are pleased to announce that the construction of the Yokohama Northwest Line, which Yokohama City is jointly constructing with Metropolitan Expressway Co., Ltd., has progressed and will open in March 2020.
We will continue to work on safety first.

The Yokohama Northwest Line is a 7.1km long motorway connecting the Yokohama North Line and the Daisan Keihin Expressway (Yokohama Kohoku Junction) to the Tomei Expressway (Yokohama Aoba Junction).
When the Yokohama Northwest Line is opened, it will be integrated with the Yokohama North Line and directly connected from the Tomei Expressway to Yokohama Port, improving international competitiveness, improving accessibility and improving logistics efficiency, and reliability of road networks in times of disaster, etc. It is expected to have effects such as improving traffic congestion such as the Hodogaya Bypass and improving the traffic environment along the area.
In addition, in commemoration of the opening, a public event on the Yokohama Northwest Line and a fan run event for the general public will be held immediately before opening.
Details of the opening date and time and event will be announced as soon as they are decided.
