South End of Ring Road No.5 Bypass Southbound Lane in December 2022
The southbound lane of the new bypass was built on the ground level. This photo shows the merging point at the south end of the bypass.
Originally, Ring Road No.5 (Meiji-dori) was straight here. When the bypass to avoid the crowded area near Shinjuku opened, the new path became the main lane. To make the new main lane straight and the old lane curved, a wide center divider had been added here.
