NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office (Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture) is ready to start the restoration work of Expressway, which was damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake, from September 5th. I will.

On the day after the earthquake, the Tohoku Expressway was made available for emergency repair work, and after using it as an emergency traffic route, we continued to make emergency repairs to steps and improve the drivability. In order to restore the state of the disaster area to the state before the earthquake, a drastic restoration work of the affected area is essential.

This restoration work basically involves day and night lane restrictions, and congestion and congestion of Expressway are expected.

We will work closely with related organizations, aiming to create a safe and comfortable road while giving due consideration to the impact on our customers. Thank you for your cooperation.
