Joban Expressway 4-lane construction (between Yamamoto IC and Iwanuma IC)

Joban Expressway 4 lanes were commercialized in 2016, and it is carried out between Fukushima Prefecture Iwaki Chuo IC-Hirono IC (about 27 km) and Miyagi Prefecture between Yamamoto IC-Iwanuma IC (about 14 km).

The Abukuma Ohashi Bridge, which passes over the first-class river Abukuma River, has adopted the pneumatic caisson method to complete the pier construction in order to carry out the pier construction within the river.

From November to May next year, we will carry out girder construction with a crane.
