Oita Kokonoe-cho Oita Expressway slopes down 14:05 on July 8th
According to the Oita Prefectural Police Expressway Traffic Police Corps, the slope of the embankment on the Oita Expressway has collapsed in Kuju Town, and the sediment is flowing into the national highway running beside it.
Due to this, the Oita Expressway was closed at 1 pm on the 8th between the Kusu interchange and the Yufuin interchange including this section.
A video taken from a helicopter around 1 pm by NHK shows that the slope of the embankment between the Kuju interchange and the Yufuin interchange on the Oita Expressway has collapsed significantly along with trees, and it has flown down to National Highway 210 running beside it. I was able to confirm that there is.
