Renewed Wall along Meiji-dori
Meiji-dori is Ring Road No.5 for the most part. The exception is sections around big stations: Ring Road No.5 is planned to bypass Shinjuku and Ikebukuro to avoid congestion. The bypass sections were just plan for a long time. But the construction finally started recently.
This photo was taken near Mejiro Station. The southern end of the bypass around Ikebukuro will branch here. The road needs to be widened to have the entrance to the branch. So, the slope along the road was cut and the wall was new.
