3. Construction overview

Since the pavement is damaged at the entrance and exit ramp of the Chibakita IC on the Higashi-Kanto Expressway, pavement repair work will be carried out. The section where this work is to be carried out is one lane, and since it is not possible to carry out construction under normal lane regulations, it is necessary to close the ramp and carry out the work.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to our customers, we will close the ramps on weekday evenings when traffic is low, and carry out construction intensively and efficiently. This is necessary for the safe and comfortable use of Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
