3. work outline

Tohoku Expressway Out-bound Line At the exit ramp of Urawa IC, trees are growing taller, so we will carry out felling work. The section where this work is to be carried out is a single lane, and since it is not possible to carry out the work under normal lane restrictions, the work must be carried out with the ramp closed.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to customers, we will close the ramps at night on weekdays when traffic is light and carry out work intensively and efficiently. This work is necessary for safe and comfortable use of the Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
