3. Construction overview

NEXCO EAST Ichihara Management Office is currently carrying out a shoulder widening project on the Kasori Viaduct Keiyo Road, and is carrying out bridge widening work.
As part of this construction, we will be carrying out one-off erection work on the Kasori Viaduct, which intersects with National Highways 16 and 126. The one-off erection work will require the use of a large crane that will rotate above National Highways 16 and 126, necessitating road closures. To minimize inconvenience to pedestrians, we will be closing the road at night on weekdays when traffic volume is low. We ask for your understanding and cooperation.
