The detour will increase the travel time, so please allow plenty of time for your trip.

3. Construction overview

Akita Road Since the deterioration of the sign board is progressing at the exit ramp of the Akita Minami IC, we will carry out sign board replacement work. The section where this work is carried out is one lane, and it is necessary to close the ramp and work because the construction cannot be carried out with normal traffic regulations inside the ramp.
Therefore, in order to cause as little inconvenience to customers as possible, we will close the lamps on weeknights 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.
