Improving the Image of Civil Engineering Careers | Changes Visible on the Izu Longitudinal Expressway
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I went to Izu the other day. I took the Shin-Tomei Expressway and then the Izu Jukan Expressway all the way to Shuzenji! It had been a while since I’d been there, but you can get there in one go now!!! Back in the day, it was really inconvenient because of the traffic jams starting from Numazu on the Tomei Expressway.
