2. Detour

For detours, please refer to Document 1 [PDF: 227KB]and Document 2 [PDF: 393KB].
The detour will increase travel time, so please allow yourself plenty of time.

3. Construction overview

Inspections will be carried out at Sendai Port IC on the Eastern Expressway and Tagajo IC on the Sanriku Expressway to check the soundness of the bridges. Since it is not possible to inspect with normal lane regulations during implementation, it is necessary to close the ramp and carry out the work. In order to avoid causing as much inconvenience as possible to customers, we will close the lamps on weekday nights when there is little traffic and carry out intensive and efficient inspections. This is a necessary inspection for safe and comfortable use of Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
