3. Construction overview

In conjunction with the construction of the Tokyo Outer Ring Road (Kanetsu-Toumei), construction work was carried out last year on the bridge that crosses over Mejiro-dori. In this construction, the scaffolding used for the bridge construction will be removed.
The scaffolding to be removed is located directly above the Oizumi IC entrance, so for safety reasons, the Oizumi IC entrance will be closed during the work. In order to minimize inconvenience to customers, the work will be carried out in a concentrated and efficient manner during the night on weekdays when traffic volume is low. We ask for your understanding and cooperation.
