3. Construction overview

At the Ome Interchange on Ken-O Road, pavement repair work will be carried out due to damage caused by aging. The section where this work will be carried out is a one-lane ramp, and since the work cannot be carried out under normal lane restrictions, the ramp must be closed to carry out the work.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to our customers, we will close the ramps during the nighttime hours from Tuesday to Thursday when traffic volume is low, and carry out the work intensively and efficiently. This work is necessary to ensure safe and comfortable use of Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
