3 Construction overview

Tohoku Expressway In-bound in the exit ramp of the line Iwatsuki IC, for the deterioration of the pavement is in progress, will be carried out pavement repair work. Since the section where this work is carried out is one lane and it is not possible to carry out the work under normal lane regulations when carrying out the work, it is necessary to close the lamp and work.

Therefore, to avoid inconvenience to our customers as much as possible, we will shut down the lamps during the night on weekdays when traffic is light, and will carry out the work intensively and efficiently.

Since this work is necessary to use the Expressway safely and comfortably, we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
