In the floor slab replacement work, we will reduce the section of each two lanes of up and down lines to one lane and consolidate it on one side to enforce face-to-face traffic all day. During the several days at the beginning and end of the construction period, there will be an all-day lane restriction for up and down lanes as a preparatory work to switch lanes. *About the construction regulation step diagram Attachment-1 [PDF:274KB]Please refer to.

About 40 years have passed since the opening of the Sansakogawa Bridge between Tsukidate IC and Wakayanagi Kanari IC on the Tohoku Expressway cracks caused by repeated wheel loading due to the increase in size of the vehicle, salt content of the antifreezing agent sprayed during the winter As a result, concrete floor slabs have deteriorated and reinforcing bars have rusted, so it is necessary to implement drastic measures against deterioration.

By replacing the deteriorated existing concrete slab with a new slab, it will be reborn as an Expressway that can be used safely and comfortably.

By adopting precast products for floor slabs and wall balustrades, we have shortened the construction period compared to usual and shortened the regulation period to the maximum. * Precast is a product manufactured in advance at a factory.
