1. 1. Construction section

Between Ebetsu-higashi IC and Iwamizawa IC on the Do-O Expressway near Yubarigawabashi (about 2.1km)

2. Construction / traffic regulation period

• All day restrictions will be applied on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
• The construction period may change depending on the weather, work progress, etc.

3. Traffic restrictions

For floor slab replacement work, we will reduce the number of two lanes on each of the upper and lower lines to one lane each, and implement all-day two-way traffic restrictions to consolidate on one side. For a total of two days, the first day and the end of the construction period, we will implement day and night continuous lane restrictions for the upper and lower lines due to lane switching work due to two-way traffic restrictions.

Four. Construction content

About 40 years have passed since the opening of the Yubarigawa Bridge between the Ebetsu-higashi IC and the Iwamizawa IC on the Hokkaido Expressway. Since the concrete floor slab has deteriorated and the reinforcing bars have rusted due to the salt contained in the antifreeze agent to be sprayed, it is necessary to replace the floor slab.
In order to replace the concrete deck part of the bridge, it is usually necessary to close the In-bound line (Sapporo direction), but one lane of the Out-bound line (Asahikawa direction) is used for the In-bound line (Sapporo direction). By making it a two-way traffic, the construction will be carried out with the minimum impact on traffic.

[Main construction contents]
By replacing the deteriorated existing concrete floor slab with a new floor slab, it will be reborn as an Expressway
