Roads Strategic maintenance and updates for infrastructure aging measures, etc.

Inspection of road facilities (bridges, tunnels, pavements, slope surfaces, earthwork constructions, road accessories, etc.) to grasp safety continues steadily. Measures against aging by maintenance cycles such as inspections, diagnoses etc. are also promoted. Ensure Safety and Security  The ratio of the number of bridges over 50 years after construction that are managed by the Kinki Regional Development Bureau is 32% as of 2016, but it will increase to 50% after 10 years. Countermeasures against a possible Nankai Trough Earthquake and other disasters and earthquakes Based on the long life of road bridge repair plan, repairs of the Yodogawa-ohashi Bridge, etc. are implemented systematically.  By proactively repairing before reaching large-scale repair, long-life plan for bridge is applied. Disaster prevention measures and earthquake disaster countermeasures continue to be implemented to reduce damage at the time of disaster occurrence and to support smooth and prompt emergency activities. Before taking measures After taking measures Earthquake disaster countermeasures Based on the experiences of the disaster, earthquake-resistant reinforcement for road bridges that are built on old standards is implemented.

Promotion of undergrounding Promotion of wide area network developmentReinforcement of Growth by Productivity Improvement With regard to the section where there is a risk of influencing the wide area traffic due to the shredding of the current road caused by earthquakes, tsunami From the viewpoints of improving disaster prevention of roads, ensuring a safeand heavy rain disasters in the future, the developmentPromoting of high-standard maintenance arterial of the Kinki䕔 areaNational ring Route road No. 1: Extended section on Yodogawa-Sagan Line and comfortable passage space, forming a good landscape, and promoting roads, etc., which connect manor cities, shall be promoted. tourism, etc., undergrounding is promoted. Based on the amendments to the 䠪 Road Law etc., undergrounding is promoted regarding roads that are important To realize prompt and smooth logistics, strengthen for disaster prevention such as emergency transportation roads. Thus road international competitiveness, and alleviate traffic jams, blockage caused by collapse of utility poles etc. will be prevented. etc., the development of ring roads will be promoted.
