Changes

Though a major thoroughfare throughout the time of the Ryûkyû Kingdom, the Chôkôtei saw dramatically diminished use in the early 20th century, as a train line connected [[Shuri]] and Naha via the bridge at Tomari Takahashi from 1911-1933, and as a new prefectural road (later renamed Kokusai-dôri) was completed in 1934. The Battle of Okinawa, along with construction and reconstruction in the latter 20th century, destroyed much of the Chôkôtei; in particular, as landfill was used to fill in the water separating Naha from Shuri, the Chôkôtei disappeared. Some sections of road, however, still follow along its path, winding alongside the Kumoji River.
