2. Construction overview

Pavement repair work will be carried out at Tohoku Expressway Sano Fujioka IC and Tochigi IC ramps due to significant deterioration and damage to the pavement.
These construction works cannot be carried out under normal lane restrictions, so it is necessary to work with the ramps 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 Expressway.
