The Metropolitan Expressway is promoting LED road lighting as an energy saving initiative. Compared to traditional mercury lights and high pressure sodium lights, LED lighting has low power consumption and long life, contributing to energy savings and preventing global warming. We have been continuously equipping LED lights on the Harumi Line since we installed white LED lights, a first for overhead lighting on the highway. We will implement it on new lines such as the Yokohama Northwest Line, and will continue to introduce LED lighting on existing routes during renovations.
In addition, we have introduced LED lighting to the Aoyama Tunnel, Kitanomaru Tunnel, Yaesu Tunnel, and Yokohama North Tunnel, having started with the Yamate Tunnel (Bay Shore Route to Route 3 Shibuya Line). We will implement it in new tunnel zones of the Yokohama Northwest Line, and will continue to introduce LED lighting on existing routes such as the Haneda Tunnel during renovations.
