3. Construction overview

In order to keep the Expressway in good condition at all times between Sawara IC and Maborikaigan IC, we will inspect the facilities and equipment inside the tunnel, and inspect, clean, and repair the road structures.
The section where this work will be carried out is a section with one lane on each side, and since the work cannot be carried out under normal lane restrictions, it is necessary to carry out the work after the main road is closed. In order to minimize inconvenience to customers, we will close the road at night on weekdays when the traffic volume is low, and carry out work intensively and efficiently. This work is necessary for safe and comfortable use of the Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
