2. Construction overview

Joban Expressway ・North Kanto Expressway Tomobe JCT and North Kanto Expressway Ibaraki Town JCT will carry out sign board replacement work due to the extension of the East Kanto Expressway. The section where this construction will be carried out is one lane, and since construction cannot be carried out with normal lane regulations when carrying out construction, it is necessary to close the ramp and carry out the work. Therefore, in order to avoid causing as much inconvenience as possible to customers, we will close the ramps on weekday nights when there is little traffic, and carry out the construction intensively and efficiently.
This is a necessary construction for you to use Expressway safely and comfortably, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
