4 Construction overview

27 years have passed since the opening of 1993 at Kokuzozobashi (In-bound line), which is located between Nagano Azumino IC and Mami IC.

During this time, fine cracks caused by an increase in wheel load due to an increase in the size of the vehicle and salt contained by spraying the deicing agent during the winter caused deterioration of the concrete floor slab and rust on the reinforcing steel. It is necessary to carry out general repair work.

In order to replace the concrete floor slab part of the bridge, it is necessary to close the In-bound line and perform the construction, so the two lanes on the Out-bound line will be face-to-face operation of one lane for each of the upper and lower lanes as floor slab replacement work Is what you do.
