TOKYO - While the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has endorsed a plan to launch the construction of three shinkansen bullet train segments in fiscal 2005, securing the more than 1 trillion yen (US$9 billion) needed for the projects will be a daunting task.
The LDP proposal calls for building three sections: the Aomori-Hakodate span for the Hokkaido shinkansen, the Toyama-Matto stretch for the Hokuriku shinkansen and the Takeo Onsen-Isahaya segment for the Nagasaki shinkansen.
But with the projects now slated for completion as early as fiscal 2012, the LDP is seeking to apply the funding for the last five years toward the three new segments.
