3. Construction overview

We will carry out pavement repair work and road maintenance work at Ibaraki Airport North IC ~ Ibaraki Town JCT in Higashi-Kanto Expressway. The section where this work is to be carried out is one lane on each side, and since it is not possible to carry out construction under normal lane regulations, it is necessary to close the road and carry out the work.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to customers, we will close the road at night on weekdays when traffic is low, and carry out construction intensively and efficiently. This is necessary for the safe and comfortable use of Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
