The Central Circular Route, signed as Route C2, is one of the routes of the Shuto Expressway system serving the central part of the Greater Tokyo Area. The route is a circumferential highway running through the outer wards of Tokyo. The complete route is 47 km in length but only slightly more than half (26.5 km) has been constructed. The currently existing portion goes through the wards of Edogawa, Katsushika, Adachi, Kita, and Itabashi. An 11 km long underground extension running beneath Yamate-dori is currently under construction. This section will extend Route C2 through the wards of Toshima, Shinjuku, Nakano, and Shibuya, with junctions with Route 4 and Route 3. The extension is expected to be completely open sometime in 2009. The last 9 km through Meguro and Shinagawa is still in the planning stage. When complete, C2 will begin and end at the Bayshore Route, which will serve to close the loop.
