Hello、munejyuka。

Two weeks have passed since the renewal construction of Chugoku Expressway started on May 19, 2021.。

last week、There was not much congestion on surrounding roads due to this construction.。

How about this week?

No noticeable impact this week.

I didn't feel like there were any major traffic jams this week due to this construction.。

before construction begins、The areas that were always congested are now congested.、It seems that there are no sections that are significantly affected by this construction work.。

Is the state of emergency declared one of the factors?

This construction will last all day、There is a road closure area。

So、Usually, there are many cases where surrounding roads are congested.、This is not the case this time。

One of the reasons why there are no traffic jams、Isn't it possible that a state of emergency has been declared?

Because everyone is refraining from going out due to the state of emergency declaration.、It is thought that the number of cars is small。

I think some people are refraining from going out for work.。

The state of emergency is scheduled to expire on the 20th (Sunday) of this month.。

If this is lifted, the situation may be different.。

Summary

・Two weeks have passed since the Chugoku Expressway renewal construction started on May 19, 2021.

・I don't see much traffic congestion on the surrounding roads due to this construction work.

・There may be fewer cars due to the state of emergency being declared.

generally、I believe that during construction work where sections are closed all day long, there will be congestion on surrounding roads in most cases.。

However、That doesn't seem to be the case this time、It feels so strange。

Once the state of emergency is lifted、Maybe the situation will be different、I will be careful and check again.。

Please read to the end、Thank you!
