Traffic jam
Hamazakibashi JCT uphill was once one of the most congested points on the Shuto Expressway. In addition to the traffic concentration from the No. 11 Daiba Route and the Metropolitan Expressway No. 1 Haneda Route, the section between Shibaura JCT and Hamazakibashi JCT 500 meters becomes a lane change section that goes to either the outer loop or the inner loop of the city center loop line, and intersects so that cars can weave in "Weaving traffic" occurs. With the opening of the Central Circular Route in March 2015, traffic congestion has been almost eliminated.
