3. Construction overview

Due to damage to the expansion device on the ramp at Yatabe IC Joban Expressway, work will be carried out to replace the expansion device. The section where this work will be carried out has only one lane, and since the work cannot be carried out under normal lane regulations, it is necessary to close the ramp.
Therefore, in order to minimize the inconvenience to customers, the ramp will be closed on weekday nights when traffic is light, and construction will be carried out intensively and efficiently. This work is necessary to ensure safe and comfortable use Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
