NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office (Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture) announced that traffic control due to construction of the aged Tsunagigawa Bridge between Tohoku Expressway Sendai Minami Interchange (IC) and Izumi IC will be carried out in October. We will start from the 15th.

Repeated repair work has been performed from the past due to deterioration of concrete floor slabs and reinforced steel rust due to fine cracks and salt content of spray of antifreeze agent in winter due to repeated wheel loads due to enlargement of vehicles etc. However, in order for customers to use it with peace of mind, it is necessary to carry out anti-aging work.

Construction of the In-bound line (for Fukushima) was completed in July, and construction of the Out-bound line (for Morioka) is scheduled for October 15.

This anti-aging work requires one-lane traffic regulation for day and night, which is expected to cause congestion and congestion on the Expressway.

We ask for your understanding and cooperation as this work is necessary to maintain a safe and comfortable Expressway.
