Shinkansen in development - Seibi Shinkansen

Among the basic planned lines (= scheduled lines) listed in the Nationwide Shinkansen Railway Development Act (Act No. 71 of 1970), the development plans for the following five Shinkansen lines (four lines, five sections) were decided in November 1973. The Tohoku Shinkansen (between Morioka and Aomori), the Hokkaido Shinkansen (between Aomori and Sapporo), the Hokuriku Shinkansen (between Tokyo and Osaka), and the Kyushu Shinkansen (between Fukuoka and Kagoshima, and between Fukuoka and Nagasaki). Of these, the Hokuriku Shinkansen's Takasaki-Nagano section opened on October 1, 1997, the Nagano-Kanazawa section on March 14, 2015, the Morioka-Hachinohe section on December 1, 2002, and the Hachinohe-Shin-Aomori section on December 4, 2010. Additionally, the Kyushu Shinkansen Kagoshima route opened between Shin-Yatsushiro and Kagoshima-Chuo stations on March 13, 2004, the Hakata-Shin-Yatsushiro section on March 12, 2011, and the Hokkaido Shinkansen between Shin-Aomori and Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto stations on March 26, 2016. As of March 2016, construction work was underway on the Hokuriku Shinkansen beyond Kanazawa, on the Kyushu Shinkansen Nagasaki (West Kyushu) route between Takeo Onsen and Nagasaki stations, and on the Hokkaido Shinkansen between Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto and Sapporo stations.

The construction of new Shinkansen lines is being carried out by the Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency (until September 2003, the Japan Railway Construction Public Corporation). In 1989, the burden of construction costs was set at 50% for JR, 40% for the national government, and 10% for local areas for "construction work related to railway facilities such as tracks and other entities," and 50% for JR, 25% for the national government, and 25% for local areas for "construction work related to stations and other railway facilities closely related to local benefits," but this was revised in 1996, with JR's burden limited to loan fees up to the benefit it receives, and the national government and local areas sharing two-thirds and one-third, respectively.

全国新幹線鉄道整備法(昭和45年法律第71号)に掲げられた基本計画線(=予定線)のうち、整備計画の決定された線区で、実質的に建設計画が進行中の線区。1973年(昭和48)11月に以下の5新幹線(4線区5区間)の整備計画が決定された。東北新幹線(盛岡―青森間)、北海道新幹線(青森―札幌間)、北陸新幹線(東京―大阪間)、九州新幹線(福岡―鹿児島間、および福岡―長崎間)。このうち、北陸新幹線の高崎―長野駅間は1997年(平成9)10月1日に、長野―金沢駅間は2015年(平成27)3月14日に、東北新幹線の盛岡―八戸(はちのへ)駅間は2002年12月1日に、八戸―新青森駅間は2010年12月4日に開業した。また、九州新幹線鹿児島ルートの新八代(しんやつしろ)―鹿児島中央駅間は2004年3月13日に、博多(はかた)―新八代駅間は2011年3月12日に、北海道新幹線の新青森―新函館北斗(しんはこだてほくと)駅間は2016年3月26日に開業した。このほかに2016年3月時点で、北陸新幹線の金沢以遠、九州新幹線長崎(西九州)ルートの武雄温泉(たけおおんせん)―長崎駅間、北海道新幹線の新函館北斗―札幌駅間で建設工事が行われている。

 整備新幹線の建設は鉄道建設・運輸施設整備支援機構(2003年9月までは日本鉄道建設公団)によって行われている。建設費の費用負担は、1989年に、「線路その他の主体等の鉄道施設にかかわる工事」については、JR50%、国40%、地域10%、「駅その他の地域の便益に密接に関連する鉄道施設にかかわる工事」については、JR50%、国25%、地域25%と定められたが、1996年に見直しが行われ、JRの負担は受益を限度とした貸付料のみとし、国が3分の2、地域が3分の1となった。
