3. Construction overview

Since the road surface has been damaged at each IC on the Kita Kanto Expressway and Joban Expressway, pavement repair work will be carried out.
Since it is not possible to carry out construction under normal lane regulations, it is necessary to close the lamps before starting work. Therefore, in order to avoid inconvenience to customers as much as possible, we will close the lamps on weekday nights when traffic is light and carry out construction intensively and efficiently. This work is necessary to use Expressway safely and comfortably, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
