The Construction Ministry listed 34 public works projects Friday for possible scrapping based on its own criteria for stopping wasteful spending.
Construction Minister Chikage Ogi released the list to reporters after a Cabinet meeting. The 34 are in addition to another 102 projects under the ministry's control that the ruling coalition urged the government to scrap earlier in the week.
Terminating the 34 projects, including 12 in sewage works, eight in road works and four in waterways, would save 110.4 billion yen, the ministry said.
