Umihotaru, translating as “Sea Firefly,” is an artificial island in Tokyo Bay where the bridge of the Trans-Tokyo Bay Highway turns into a tunnel. The road opened in December of 1997 after 23 years of planning and 9 years of construction at a cost of 1.44 trillion yen ($11.2 billion). The new road reduced the drive between Chiba and Kanagawa, two important industrial regions, from 90 to 15 minutes.
