TOKYO – The Tokyo Wan Aqua-Line expressway, which connects Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures via Tokyo Bay, was closed on Thursday morning after a fire extinguishing system sprayed water and foam onto the road.
The equipment appears to have malfunctioned, and the expressway’s operator East Nippon Expressway Co. is investigating the cause. The road closure was lifted around 11:30 a.m.
