This project was started in 2006 and traverses the underground of the Higashi-Kanto Expressway with a daily traffic volume of more than 100,000 in a tunnel form, and also affects the railway near the elevated JR Keiyo Line. Overcoming difficult construction work such as not giving it, we are celebrating the opening day.

The opening of the Yatsu-Funabashi IC will improve the convenience of the surrounding area, enhance industrial competitiveness, and revitalize the area.

In addition, by guiding traffic such as Route 357 in the Funabashi/Narashino city area to the Higashi-Kanto Expressway we will alleviate traffic congestion and contribute to the improvement of the local environment.
