If you detour between Tohoku Expressway Iwatsuki IC ⇒ Hasuda Smart IC, it will take about 15 minutes (usually about 5 minutes).

Detours will increase the time required, so please take time to go out.

3. Construction overview

Since the deterioration of the paved road surface is progressing at the exit ramp of Hasuda Smart IC on the Tohoku Expressway Out-bound Line, repair work will be carried out on the road surface. The section where this work will be carried out is a single lane, and since construction cannot be carried out under normal lane restrictions, it is necessary to work with the ramp closed.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to customers, the ramp will be closed at night on weekdays when traffic is light, and construction will be carried out intensively and efficiently. We ask for your understanding and cooperation as this work is necessary for safe and comfortable use of the Expressway.
