2 Construction content

 E38 Doto Expressway was used as an alternative road to National Route 274 Nissho Pass, which was closed due to the impact of typhoon No. 10 in August last year, and used approximately 4.7 million vehicles (*) for approximately one year and two months. It was. During this time, we have been working to secure traffic that connects the central and eastern parts of the country, such as by avoiding construction work that is closed to traffic.

In order to use the Expressway safely, safely and comfortably, we will carry out road closures before the severe winter season and carry out repair work and cleaning work.

In addition, in order to minimize the impact on traffic, we will secure the maximum number of workers to shorten the construction period and carry out work at night when traffic is light.
