Future plans
Plans exist to build a Kama-Kama Line that would extend the Tokyu Tamagawa Line from Kamata eastward by approximately 800 m to Keikyu Kamata Station on the Keikyu Main Line and Keikyu Airport Line. This would provide an interchange between the lines, improving accessibility to Tokyo's Haneda Airport ahead of the 2020 Summer Olympics.[3] As of June 2022[update], Ōta Ward has agreed with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to pay 70% of the project cost of ¥136 billion (2021) (equivalent to ¥147.89 billion or US$977.06 million in 2024)[4] while having the city government responsible for the remaining 30%.[5]
