The NEXCO EAST Group has positioned the period from 2021 to 2025 as "a period to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs and transform toward a new future society", and is making various efforts.
Regarding the initiative of "Opening of the Izuhara Smart Interchange" this time, by developing and strengthening the Expressway network, it is a business activity that leads to the revitalization of the regional economy and support for regional medical care.
