Fukuoka’s Logistics Revolution: Urban Expressway Extension to Boost International Trade

Fukuoka Urban Expressway Extension Overview

The Fukuoka urban expressway extension project, slated for completion by 2030, is a visionary infrastructure development that will create a direct tunnel connection to Fukuoka Airport. This ambitious undertaking aims to significantly improve the connectivity between the city’s key transportation hubs, streamlining the movement of goods and people.
