As part of work to construct new platforms some 40 meters underground, an iron girder was installed to replace track ballast and railroad ties that supported a portion of the existing Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train rail tracks. It will take three years to complete the replacement work for two eastbound and as many westbound maglev train tracks in the new platforms, totaling some 1,550 meters, according to JR Tokai.
