JR Central unveils tunnel for maglev shinkansen line www.japantimes.co.jp

Central Japan Railway Co. (JR Central) has unveiled the inside of a tunnel under construction in Gifu Prefecture for use as part of its ultrafast maglev train line, scheduled to go into service in 2027.
It was the first time JR Central had shown the inside of a tunnel to be used for the Chuo Shinkansen line.
The site is the only one among the construction sites for the maglev line that has a conveyor belt.
The construction of the maglev line, however, hasn’t been proceeding entirely smoothly.
In addition, some shady business practices have been uncovered in the construction of the maglev line.
