2. Detour

Please refer to the attached document [PDF: 195KB] for detours.
The detour will increase travel time, so please allow yourself plenty of time when traveling.

3. 3. Construction details

At the exit ramp of the Akita Expressway Kitakami Nishi IC, we will carry out countermeasure work against reverse driving. Since construction cannot be carried out with normal lane regulations when carrying out construction, it is necessary to close the ramp and carry out the work. Therefore, in order to avoid causing as much inconvenience as possible to customers, we will close the ramps on weekday nights when there is little traffic, and carry out the construction intensively and efficiently. This is a necessary construction work for you to use the Expressway safely and comfortably, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
