2. Construction details

The construction works we are announcing today are all deck replacement works. In these works, we will replace the concrete decks that have been damaged due to aging and an increase in large vehicles with new, more durable prestressed concrete decks. In addition, we will also implement high-performance deck waterproofing to the waterproof layer to prevent deterioration of the decks.

In addition, the lanes change significantly before and after the restricted section, so please follow the local information signs.

Also, please note that if special vehicle traffic permission ^(*) has been obtained only for Expressway routes, you will also need to obtain permission for general roads.
