Kawasaki Route
Shuto Expressway Kanagawa Route
The Kawasaki Route (川崎線, Kawasaki-sen), signed as Route K6, is one of the tolled routes of the Shuto Expressway system serving the Greater Tokyo Area and is one of seven of the routes in the system serving Kanagawa Prefecture.
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 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 Kawasaki Connector, 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.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kawasaki Route” as shuto Expressway Kanagawa Route. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as shuto Expressway Kanagawa Route. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 7, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q11667108. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
