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.。

今週はどうでしょうか？

今週も目立った影響はなし

今週もこの工事の影響で凄い渋滞が発生していたという感じはありませんでした。

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.。

要因のひとつには緊急事態宣言？

今回の工事は終日、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、緊急事態宣言が発令されているというのもあるのではないでしょうか？

緊急事態宣言で皆さんが外出を控えておられるので、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

・２０２１年５月１９日から始まった中国道のリニューアル工事が始まって２週間が経過

・この工事の影響で周辺の道路が渋滞しているようすはあまり感じられない

・緊急事態宣言が発令されている影響で車が少ないのかも

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!
