East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd.
Kanto Regional Head Office

NEXCO EAST Kanto Regional Head Office (Taito-ku, Tokyo, Regional Head Office length: Shinichi Ishikawa), the Gaikan Expressway and Keiyo Road due to the construction of Keiyo junction and is connected (JCT) (tentative name), Keiyo Road established a bypass road to To do.

In addition, we will inform you that due to the construction work to switch to the detour road, we will carry out day and night continuous restriction work on the up and down line between the Shinozaki gateway of the Keiyo Road and the Ichikawa interchange (IC).

During the construction period, there may be periods when traffic congestion is expected as the number of lanes decreases due to lane restrictions. When you go out, please have time to spare and use the parallel detour to the Higashi-Kanto Expressway (See Attachment-1 [PDF:23KB]) and public transportation. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
