2. Construction details
All of the construction we will inform you about this time is floor slab replacement work. In this work, the concrete floor slabs that have been damaged due to deterioration and the increase in the number of large vehicles will be replaced with new, more durable prestressed concrete slabs. In addition, high-performance floor slab waterproofing is applied to the waterproof layer to prevent deterioration of the floor slab.

3. Requests when using
- The construction section will be closed to traffic throughout the day. In some sections, traffic congestion is predicted starting at the construction site, so please leave with plenty of time to spare.
- Since the lanes and road shoulders are narrow, please observe the speed limit when driving, secure a distance between vehicles, and be careful of rear-end collisions. In addition, lanes will change significantly before and after the restricted section, so please follow the local guidance signs.
- Vehicles for construction work may enter and leave the area around the construction site, so please be careful when traveling ahead.
- During the construction period, we will provide traffic congestion information using LED information boards, provide construction regulation information using road information boards and road signs, and call attention to driving safely. Please check this information before driving and drive safely.

Four. Requests when passing special vehicles
Due to these traffic restrictions, special vehicles over 3.0m wide will not be able to pass through during the all-day two-way traffic restriction period and the all-day traffic restriction period. Customers who wish to use these roads are asked to take a detour to nearby roads.
In addition, please note that if a special vehicle permission (※1) has only been obtained for Expressway routes, you will also need to obtain permission for general roads.
- What is special vehicle passage permission?
Based on the Road Law and the Vehicle Restriction Ordinance, this is a permit required for special vehicles that exceed general restrictions (length, weight, vehicle width, etc.) to pass on public roads.
