2. Main construction contents

Road repair work...
We will repair any areas where cracks or unevenness in the pavement are evident.
Toll gate demolition work...
In conjunction with the replacement of the roof of the toll gate, the old roof will be removed.
Since the work will require the use of a large crane, the entrance and exit will be closed off before carrying out the work.
