3. Construction overview

Due to damage to the road surface at the exit ramp of Wako Kita IC on the outer ring road, pavement repair work will be carried out. The section in which this work will be carried out is a ramp section, and since it cannot be carried out under normal ramp regulations, it is necessary to close the ramp to carry out the work.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to our customers, we will close the ramps at night on weekdays when traffic volume is low, and carry out the work in a concentrated and efficient manner. This work is necessary to ensure that customers can use Expressway safely and comfortably, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
