阪急淡路駅 Vol.56｜～繋がり連鎖で加速～ 崇禅寺/下新庄/柴島 高架化工事の全貌進捗 4K60p | Awaji Station Construction 2026-04

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. 56. 【Chapter List】 00:00 Section 1: Front of Kunijima Purification Plant to Sozenji Station Area 03:58 Section 2: ★Sozenji Station Area to Harakai Crossing ●PC Girder Installation 08:55 Section 3: Extended Truss Girders to Kyoto/Senri Line Junction 09:59 Section 4: ★Awaji Station (West) to Truss Girders over JR Lines ●Former Substation Elevated Extension 12:40 Section 4: ★JR Osaka Higashi Line to Shinkansen Overpass ●Elevated Structure Extension 14:51 Section 7: ★Shimoshinjo Station Area ●Platform Demolition / Track Removal / Crossing Relocation 17:33 Section 8: Kanzakigawa Bridge to Senri Line Construction Limit 19:27 Section 7: ★Shimoshinjo Station Area ●Platform Demolition / Track Removal / Crossing Relocation 20:32 Section 5: ★Shinkansen Overpass to Kyoto/Senri Line Truss Girders ●Elevated Extension Work 22:55 Section 5: ★Kyoto Line toward Kamishinjo to Construction Limit ●Gate No. 9 Foundation Work 26:19 Section 4: ★Truss Girders over JR Lines ●Former Substation Elevated Extension (East Side) 27:57 Section 3: Area around Hankyu Awaji Station (East) to Kyoto/Senri Line Junction 29:22 Section 6: Senri Line Truss Girders & Kyoto Line Truss Girders (East Side) 30:12 Section 6: Elevated Viaduct above Gakudo Crossing to Double-Deck Single-Track Structures 32:51 Section 6: ★Kunijima Station Area to Yodo River ●Under-Elevated Staircase Installation 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.
