In early May 2010, We (Aoyama, Ikeda and Takatori） visited the construction site of the Yamba dam in Naganohara in Gunma Prefecture. We visited Yamba Dam construction site 18 times in the past five years. Minister Maehara stated to stop construction of the Yamba dam political change occurred after the August 2009 After running out to the rest of the construction cost of 460 billion yen, one of the main body of public works are going to care. Compared to last fall, for example, paved the Azuma River basin, prefectural hiway of route 145 (Bridge works including tunnels), replacement of the railway works Azuma (bridgework, station construction and replacement), slope disaster prevention work, Sabo dam construction, industrial relocation housing residents, and progressing at a rapid pace and nursery schools and other public facilities construction.
