Cement spills onto Shizuoka park grounds during repairs of shinkansen tunnel

Police in Mishima, Shizuoka Prefecture, said Friday that construction workers spilled cement being used for repairs of a Tokaido shinkansen underground tunnel onto the grounds of a park.
The incident occurred on Thursday afternoon, TV Asahi reported. JR construction crews recently began repairs of the tunnel that runs directly under the park in an effort to strengthen it against wear and tear. Cement being used to fill cracks and tears throughout the tunnel began to overflow and eventually spill onto the park grounds above.
