4 Construction overview

Since the pavement of the Nagano Expressway Koshoku IC and Koshoku JCT lamps is deteriorating, we will carry out pavement repair work. The section where this work is to be carried out is one lane, and it is not possible to carry out the work under normal lane regulations, so it is necessary to close the lamp and carry out the work.
Therefore, in order to avoid inconvenience to customers as much as possible, we will close the lamps on weekday nights when there is little traffic, and carry out the construction intensively and efficiently.
This work is necessary to use Expressway safely and comfortably, so we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
