2. Detour

Please refer to [Attachment-1] [PDF: 1.0MB] for the detour.
The detour will increase the travel time, so please allow yourself plenty of time before heading out.

3. Construction overview

Since the road surface is damaged at the exit ramp of the Joshinetsu Out-bound Fujioka IC, we will carry out pavement repair work. The section where this work is to be carried out is a single lane, and since construction cannot be done under normal lane regulations, it is necessary to work with the ramp closed.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to customers, the ramp will be closed at night on weekdays when traffic is light, and construction will be carried out intensively and efficiently. We ask for your understanding and cooperation as this work is necessary for safe and comfortable use of the Expressway.
