Tokyo's 'MacArthur Road' Tunnel Opens Between Shinbashi and Toranomon

TOKYO, JAPAN - MARCH 29: In this aerial image, the Loop Line 2 portion, known as 'MacArthur Road,' is seen on March 29, 2014 in Tokyo, Japan. Conceived in 1946, named after the U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, supreme commander for the Allied Powers in Japan, who asked the Japanese government to build a road to link the U.S. Embassy in Toranomon with Takeshiba Pier in Tokyo Bay, the 1.4-kilometer-long underground road connecting Shinbashi and Toranomon in central Tokyo opened for motor vehicles for the first time. The four-lane road is part of Loop Line 2, an expected major traffic artery linking major venues at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
