Bridge aging work Attachment-4 [PDF: 221KB]
Tohoku Expressway Fukushima Arakawa Bridge and Fukushima Sugawa Bridge, which are located between Fukushima Nishi IC and Fukushima Iizaka IC, have been 40 years since the opening of the road, and due to repeated wheel load due to the increase in size of vehicles, minute cracks and winter periods Since the concrete floor slab is deteriorated and the reinforcing bars are rusted due to the salt content of the anti-freezing agent sprayed in, it is necessary to implement drastic measures against deterioration.
In the autumn of last year, similar construction was being carried out on the Fukushima Sugawabashi (Out-bound line), and this time we will be working on the In-bound line (toward Tokyo). In addition, from the autumn of this year, we are planning to construct the Out-bound line (for Sendai) of Fukushima Arakawa Bridge.
Since the concrete floor slab of the bridge will be replaced, it is necessary to carry out the construction while restricting one-lane traffic for consecutive days and nights. Therefore, the number of lanes you can drive is restricted from two to one.
[Main work contents]
By removing the deteriorated concrete slab and installing a new concrete slab, we will improve running performance and safety.
