Central Circular Route (Shuto Expressway)
The Central Circular Route (中央環状線, Chūō Kanjō-sen?), signed as Route C2, is one of the routes of the Shuto Expressway system serving the central part of the Greater Tokyo Area. The route is a circumferential highway running through the outer wards of Tokyo. The complete route is 48.8 km in length, and now 36.4 km length is currently running. The last 12.4 km has been constructed. The currently existing portion goes through the wards of Edogawa, Katsushika, Adachi, Kita, Itabashi, Toshima, Shinjuku, Nakano, and Shibuya. The Yamate Tunnel opened to traffic on December 22, 2007, as of 2010 the Tunnel extended the route south to Route 3. The last 9.4 km through Meguro and Shinagawa is still under construction; this final segment of C2 is expected to be completed sometime in fiscal year 2013. When complete, C2 will begin and end at the Bayshore Route, which will serve to close the loop.

Famous quotes containing the words central, circular and/or route:
“In inner-party politics, these methods lead, as we shall yet see, to this: the party organization substitutes itself for the party, the central committee substitutes itself for the organization, and, finally, a “dictator” substitutes himself for the central committee.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“‘A thing is called by a certain name because it instantiates a certain universal’ is obviously circular when particularized, but it looks imposing when left in this general form. And it looks imposing in this general form largely because of the inveterate philosophical habit of treating the shadows cast by words and sentences as if they were separately identifiable. Universals, like facts and propositions, are such shadows.”
—David Pears (b. 1921)
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
