2. Construction overview

Due to damage to bridge infrastructure at Chiyoda PA (towards Tokyo) on the In-bound lane Joban Expressway, repair work will be carried out. Because the work cannot be performed with normal lane closures, the ramps will need to be closed to allow for the work to be completed.
Therefore, to minimize inconvenience to our customers, we will close the ramps during weekday evenings when traffic volume is low, and carry out the construction work intensively and efficiently. This work is necessary to ensure the safe and comfortable use of Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
