Girder Removal in Rebuilding of Highway Rridge on Metropolitan Expressway

摘要

Due to the improvement of the Loop Road No. 2, one of the urban planning highway projects of the Tokyo metropolitan govern ment, the Yaesu Route of the Metropolitan Expressway interferes with a section of the Loop Road No. 2 that is planned as an under ground tunnel. This requires that the section of the Yaesu Route that is causing the inter ference be rebuilt. In the following, we primarily describe the removal of an existing bridge girder on the Yaesu Route that was ordered by Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Company Limited (refer to Figs. 1 and 2).
