3. Construction overview

North Kanto Expressway Eastbound Ota Yabuzuka IC Exit Ramp Due to damage to the road surface, pavement repair work will be carried out. The section where this work is performed 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 work for you to use the Expressway safely and comfortably, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
