Route 1 is one of the radial routes of the Shuto Expressway system in the Tokyo area. Route 1 has two segments: a northern segment (known as the Ueno Route) connecting Chūō-ku to Taito-ku via Ueno; and a southern segment (known as the Haneda Route) connecting Minato-ku to Haneda in Ota-ku. The two segments are connected by the Inner Circular Route.

[edit] Ueno Route

The Ueno Route is 2.75 miles (4.4km) long beginning at Edobashi Junction at the Inner Circular Route and ending at a local road (Showa-dori) in Taito-ku. It also serves Ueno Station. There are plans to extend the Ueno Route further north to the Central Circular Route.
