2. Construction overview

At the entrance and exit lamps of the Yamagata Road-Sasaya IC Out-bound Line, we will carry out structural repair work and pavement repair work in order to repair damaged structures and pavement.
Since construction cannot be carried out with normal lane regulations, it is necessary to close the ramp and work. Therefore, in order to cause as little inconvenience to customers as possible, we will close the ramp on weekdays when there is little traffic and carry out construction intensively and efficiently. This construction is necessary for safe and comfortable use of the Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
