NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office (Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture) will enforce traffic regulation due to the deterioration of Tsunagi River Bridge between Tohoku Expressway Sendai Minami Interchange (IC) and Izumi IC from May 22. ..

Repeated repair work has been performed from the past due to deterioration of concrete floor slabs and reinforced steel rust due to fine cracks and salt content of spray of antifreeze agent in winter due to repeated wheel loads due to enlargement of vehicles etc. However, in order for customers to use it with peace of mind, it was necessary to carry out drastic measures against deterioration.

As shown below, construction of the In-bound line (for Fukushima) will be carried out from May 22, and construction of the Out-bound line (for Iwate) is scheduled for this fall.

This anti-aging construction requires a one-lane traffic regulation for day and night, which is expected to cause congestion and congestion on the Expressway. Traffic congestion forecast information will be posted on websites such as DraPla so please refer to it when using the Expressway.

In addition, traffic jam information will be provided near the IC in front of the construction section, so please refer to it as a detour.

We ask for your understanding and cooperation as this work is necessary to maintain a safe and comfortable Expressway.
