トップ会談、平行線　静岡知事「議論続ける」―リニア新幹線

　リニア中央新幹線をめぐり、静岡県の川勝平太知事とＪＲ東海の金子慎社長が１３日、同県庁内で会談した。川勝氏は会談後、記者団に「現在の議論をやっていく姿勢を伝えた」と述べ、国の有識者会議などの場でリニア工事に伴う水資源の保護策などの議論を継続する考えを表明。約２年ぶりのトップ会談は平行線に終わり、静岡工区の着工に向けた進展はなかった。
　県はトンネル掘削工事によって大井川の流水量が減ると懸念し、静岡工区の着工を認めていない。このため、ＪＲ東海が目指す品川―名古屋間の２０２７年開業は困難な情勢になっている。（2022/09/13-19:42）

The heads of the Shizuoka prefectural government and Central Japan Railway Co. , or JR Tokai, failed to narrow gaps in their first talks on the Chuo Shinkansen magnetic levitation line in two years on Tuesday.
   Speaking to reporters after the meeting with JR Tokai President Shin Kaneko, Shizuoka Governor Heita Kawakatsu indicated that the prefecture will continue talks with the company, including on ways to prevent the maglev project having negative impacts on local water resources.
   The prefectural government has refused to approve the start of construction in Shizuoka, due to concerns that drilling work could cause a fall in the amount of water in the Oi River.
   The refusal is making it difficult for the Chuo Shinkansen line to be opened between Shinagawa Station in Tokyo and Nagoya Station in Aichi Prefecture, west of Shizuoka, in 2027, as sought by the railway operator.
