Outline of road closure work

Joshin-Etsu Expressway Shinanomachi IC-Nakago IC was opened in October 1997, and the Nakago IC-Joetsu JCT was opened in October 1999 with provisional 2-lane operation. After that, in response to the business license change in April 2012, four-lane construction work has started, but with this suspension of traffic, pavement work for the service lane will be carried out as preparatory work for the completion of four lanes.
