The city of Saitama and the JR East co-operate in the suspension lift to the train station and the adjoining railway lines, since the railway lines are still cut the city in two parts and motor vehicles and pedestrians are very limited on the track in their mobility by the railway. In addition, today the trains of the Shonan - Shinjuku line must still be done on a route for freight trains through the station since no more space is available for a useful platform for this line in the station. This resulted in the decision to put the station up and provide them with an additional platform. In addition, the road tunnel is to be expanded in the vicinity of the station under the railway line through it. The entire construction project will take several years to complete.
