NEXCO East Japan and the Kanto Regional Development Bureau of Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) will begin four-lane operation on the section of the Metropolitan Inter-City Expressway (Ken-O Expressway) between Goka Interchange (IC) and Sakai-Koga IC at 6:00 a.m. on July 24.
This widening to four lanes is part of the project to expand the section between Kuki-Shiraoka Junction (JCT) and Daiei JCT, covering a length of 6.9 kilometers. At the same time, the maximum speed limit between Kuki-Shiraoka JCT and Sakai-Koga IC will be raised to 100 km/h.
The organizations state that they will continue to prioritize safety while proceeding with improvements in the sections in Ibaraki Prefecture and Chiba Prefecture as well.
