The construction of the KK Line = Tokyo Expressway began in 1953 and 1953, mainly by companies founded by business people, in order to help restore Ginza following the war and alleviate traffic congestion. .

Ginza, Tokyo is a free car-only road with a total length of regarding 2 kilometers that runs through the rooftops of buildings in and around Ginza.

On the other hand, the area around Ginza and Nihonbashi is expected to undergo redevelopment in the future, and the appearance of the town is expected to change significantly.

In the 2030s, a new Metropolitan Expressway is planned to be built under Kyobashi, and the traffic volume of the KK Line is expected to decrease significantly.
