Route description
The Kawasaki Route begins at the Kawasaki-Ukishima Junction as a continuation west for the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line into Kanagawa Prefecture. The division between the two expressways is the Bayshore Route, which travels along the edge of Tokyo Bay. From this eastern terminus, the Kawasaki Route travels west through Kawasaki, paralleling Japan [National Route 409|National Route 409]. The only interchange along the Kawasaki Route aside from its termini is at Tonomachi Junction where the two parallel routes partially connect. The expressway meets its western terminus at Daishi Junction with the Yokohane Route.The speed limit along almost the entire length of the Kawasaki Route is set at 80 km/h. The only exceptions to this is at the termini of the route where the limit is lowered to 40 km/h. The Kawasaki Route is a part of the partially-complete, an expressway planned to link the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line and National Route 15. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism plans to include the connector in an outer ring road around the Greater Tokyo Area.
