Hello、This is muneuyuka。 Renewal construction of Chugoku Expressway started from May 19, 2021。 This construction is today、Ended at 5am on Sunday, June 27th。 There were some sections that were closed to traffic.、This means we're back to normal。 The construction work, which lasted approximately 40 days, has been completed.The construction period is expected to be one of the longest for a large expressway.、It was 40 days。 And throughout this period、Road closure between Suita and Ikeda all day long、Lane restrictions were imposed between Ikeda and Takarazuka.。 I think there are very few construction projects this large.。 Still renovation work、Maintenance is important because、There's no point in complaining, right?。 Link Did the traffic situation change during the last weekend? After construction started、Traffic congestion on surrounding roads was less than initially expected.。 However、At around 5:30 p.m. yesterday, June 26th (Saturday),、There was a 4km traffic jam with Ikeda heading eastbound.。 Why? What can be considered is、 I think this is because the state of emergency has been lifted.。 The state of emergency was lifted on June 21st.、It was the first weekend after the cancellation.、It seems that many people went out by car.。 together、There was also a 7km traffic jam on the Hanshin Expressway's Ikeda Line bound for Osaka city.。 I don't think that the lifting of the state of emergency is the entire cause.、I wonder if there will be an impact... The "exclusion" from applying holiday discounts on expressways has been extended. Things to note are:、The state of emergency has been lifted.、 The exemption from holiday discounts on expressway tolls has been extended until Sunday, July 11th.。 Even on holidays, the price is the same as on weekdays.、Those who are taking advantage of discounts should be careful.。 It seems that this is being carried out as part of measures to prevent the spread of the virus.。 Link Summary - Chugoku Expressway renewal construction will end at 5 a.m. on Sunday, June 27, 2021 - Closed section、There will also be no lane restriction sections. ・A 4km traffic jam occurred on the eastbound route in the evening of the last day. ・The holiday discount exemption has been extended until July 11th.、Many people may have taken a different route during the construction period.。 I know that construction is necessary.、I feel relieved when I hear it's over.。 I use it normally when talking in conversation、I hope you drive safely! Please read till the end、Thank you! !!
