NEXCO Central Japan’s Tokyo Branch will carry out renovation work on both directions of the Tomei Expressway (E1) between the Oi-Matsuda Interchange and the Shimizu Junction. The work will take place from 6:00 a.m. on September 1 through midnight on April 16, 2027.

Since traffic congestion is expected due to lane closures during the construction period, authorities are urging drivers to take detours via the Odawara-Atsugi Road (E85), the Higashi-Fuji Five Lakes Road (E68), and the Shin-Tomei Expressway (E1A), adjust their travel times, or use public transportation.
