Abstract:

The Hanshin Expressway was first opened more than 50 years ago in 1962. It has subsequently grown into a network that boasts an operating distance of 259 km and daily traffic of approximately 700,000 units. However, damage has manifested in the expressway because of aging of core structures. To avoid future catastrophic failures due to these damages and road closures associated with them, overall structural replacements (large-scale replacements) are planned. These replacements are planned for 6 segments of the expressway that are not expected to be improved in the future through repair and maintenance.
