Description
Tokyo road constructors came to a dead stop when they came to a 100 year old cemetery at YOYOGI which lay in their path near the Olympic Stadium. To remove the graves to time wasting - but would meet with much opposition from relatives of persons buried there as well as the owners of the ground and the nearby Temple. If they bridged the cemetery - at would be plunged into darkness - causing the grass and the flowers to die.. The constructors finally decided to tunnel beneath the graveyard - and the road continued onwards to join the by-pass. KEYSTONE PHOTO SHOWS: The site of the graveyard and the underpass which solved the problem. Beyond is part of the National Stadium used for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
