阪急淡路駅 Vol.57/Part.1/前編｜GW明けはここから開始、崇禅寺～下新庄 高架化工事の全貌進捗 4K60p | Awaji Station Construction 2026-05

Filming Date: May 5, 2026 – "Children's Day" I captured this footage under a breathtaking, cloudless blue sky, perfectly embodying the spirit of "Children's Day." Amidst the latter half of the Golden Week holidays, I am bringing you the latest updates on the ongoing fixed-point observation around Awaji Station with the clearest visuals possible. Recently, on May 2nd, a significant earthquake (M5.7 / intensity 5-lower) occurred with its epicenter in Nara Prefecture. Even here, near Awaji Station, we recorded tremors of intensity 3, which has renewed our focus on disaster preparedness. In this video, please take a close look at the "highly earthquake-resistant" elevated structures being built—a crucial development for the city's future safety. In my quest to further improve video quality (4K60p 10bit), the sheer volume of data has led me to split this update into a two-part series: Part 1 and Part 2. Both parts were filmed on the same day. Part 2 (the second half) is also available now, so please make sure to watch both for the full experience! I will continue to document these scenes, so be sure to "Subscribe" to the channel and hit the notification bell so you don’t miss a thing! I always welcome your comments on specific details in the video, filming requests, or your overall thoughts. Your "Likes" are the biggest motivation for my next production! Thank you so much for your continued support and for joining me on this journey! 【Chapter List】 00:00 Section 1: Front of Kunijima Purification Plant to Sozenji Station Area 02:37 Section 2: ★Sozenji Station Area to Harakai Crossing ●PC Girder Installation 09:04 Section 3: Extended Truss Girders to Kyoto/Senri Line Junction 11:04 Section 4: ★Awaji Station (West) to Truss Girders over JR Lines ●Former Substation Elevated Extension 13:03 Section 4: ★JR Osaka Higashi Line to Shinkansen Overpass ●Elevated Structure Extension 15:49 Section 7: ★Shimoshinjo Station Area ●Platform Demolition / Track Removal / Crossing Relocation 18:22 Section 8: Kanzakigawa Bridge to Senri Line Construction Limit LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL This massive project to elevate the Hankyu Kyoto and Senri Lines began in 2008. After repeated delays and the impact of the pandemic, construction has now spanned 18 years, missing its original goal of completion before the 2025 Osaka Expo. I initially started filming thinking it would be finished soon, but the project’s extension has led this series all the way to Vol.57. Historically, this area was plagued by traffic congestion and accidents at 17 railroad crossings. Upon completion, these 100-year-old crossings will disappear, making the city safer and quieter. The highlight is the viaduct’s height, reaching approximately 30 meters (the height of a 10-story building)—a first in Japan. Building such a "Giant Fortress" in a densely populated area without ever stopping train operations is a marvel of next-generation engineering that has silenced all skeptics. Witness the transformation of a century-old railway into a future-ready landmark.
