2 Construction content

Pavement repair work
This section is a provisional two lanes (one lane on each side), and the regulations for construction work are alternate traffic regulations on one side. In order to reduce the impact as much as possible, we will carry out traffic closures at night when traffic volume is low, and perform intensive pavement repair work.

3 Closed road location map and detour

When you are closed, please make a detour to General National Route 7 (new and new bypass).

The travel time between Seiro Shibata IC and Nakajo IC is about 10 minutes, but if you use General Route 7, it will take about 25 minutes under normal traffic conditions.
