3. Construction overview

The Soka IC ramp on the inner loop road will be closed at night to replace a damaged telescopic device.
Since the section where this work is to be performed is a single lane, it is necessary to close the ramp for the work to be carried out because it is not possible to perform the work with normal lane restrictions.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to customers, the ramp will be closed during the nighttime on weekdays when traffic volume is low, so that work can be carried out intensively and efficiently. We ask for your understanding and cooperation as this work is necessary for the safe and comfortable use of Expressway.
