Road infrastructure in Japan - statistics & facts
The road network in Japan adds up to a length of more than 1.28 million kilometers, including thousands of bridges and tunnels due to the mountainous nature of the archipelago. Roads contribute to economic activity and are indispensable for natural disaster relief. Yearly investments in public roads were somewhere around six trillion Japanese yen in the last years. In the context of Japan’s demographic development, planning, financing, and executing road maintenance will remain an issue.
