4 Construction overview

About 44 years have passed since Ono Bridge, located between the Asari IC and the Zenibako IC on the Sasson Expressway, has been cracked due to an increase in wheel load due to an increase in the size of the vehicle and winter season. It is necessary to replace the floor slab because the concrete floor slab is deteriorated and the reinforcing bar is rusted due to salt etc. caused by spraying the antifreezing agent.

In order to replace the concrete slab part of the bridge, it is necessary to close the Out-bound line (for Sapporo), but one of the two lanes for the In-bound line (for Otaru) should be closed for the Out-bound line (for Sapporo). By carrying out transfer and face-to-face traffic, construction will be carried out with minimal impact on traffic.

Main work contents

By replacing the deteriorated existing concrete slab with a new slab, it will be reborn as an Expressway that can be used safely and comfortably.
