View of the proposed construction site sign from the Okinawa Expressway
billion-head damThe Kanamu Dam is to be constructed 100 m downstream of the existing Kanamu Dam (non-dam/levee height 12.8 m). The embankment was not visible at all.
The other mistake I made was that I was heading toward Naha City, but I didn't know that the Kanamu Dam was on the left side, and I was staring only at the right side of the bus, so I could only take this sign....
