3. Construction overview

Between Sahara IC and Maborikaigan IC on the Yokosuka Road, we will inspect, clean, and repair road structures and inspect facilities in tunnels in order to keep the Expressway in good condition at all times.
The section where this work will be carried out is a section with one lane on each side, and since the work cannot be carried out under normal lane regulations when carrying out the work, it is necessary to close the main lane and carry out the work. In order not to cause any inconvenience to our customers, we will close the road at night when the traffic is light and carry out the construction intensively and efficiently. This work is necessary to use the Expressway safely and comfortably, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
