On the Metropolitan Expressway, due to the replacement work of the "High-Speed Daishi Bridge" connecting Tokyo and Kanagawa, road closures began on the morning of the 1th on some parts of the No. 27 Haneda Line. More congestion is expected than usual on almost the entire line for two weeks until the lifting of the road, and the Metropolitan Expressway Company is calling for cooperation in avoiding traffic congestion.
Replacement work due to the aging of the "High-Speed Daishi Bridge" over the Tama River will begin on the 27th, and some sections such as the No. 1 Haneda Line of the Metropolitan Expressway will be closed from the morning of the 27th, and will continue all day for two weeks until 10 a.m. on the 5th of next month.
The sections closed to traffic are
the upper and lower lines between the Heiwajima entrance of the No. 2 Haneda Line and the Daishi entrance of the Kanagawa No. 1 Yokobane Line, and
the upper and lower lines between the Showajima Junction of the No. 1 Haneda Line and the Tokai Junction of the High-Speed Bay Shore Line.
On the 1th, the site that was closed to traffic was opened to the press, and we were able to confirm the state of preparations for the replacement of the high-speed Daishi Bridge.
During this period, some sections of the Metropolitan Expressway are expected to take five times longer than usual, and almost all lines are expected to be more congested than usual.
In particular, you need to be careful when traveling in the direction of Haneda Airport or the Tokyo Bay Aqua Line.
The Metropolitan Expressway Company is calling for cooperation in avoiding traffic congestion, such as using public transportation and avoiding use during busy daylight hours.
Takayuki Noami, Director of the Project Promotion Department of the Metropolitan Expressway Company Renewal and Construction Bureau, said, "The road closure started at 5 o'clock, but it is expected that traffic congestion will be even more congested on Monday (5th), the first day of the week.
