Large-scale slope damage occurred in the Aso Ohashi Bridge area as a result of the Kumamoto Earthquake on April 16, 2016, and National Road 57, JR Hohi Main Line, and Aso Ohashi Bridge connected to National Road 57 (National Road 325) located at the bottom of the slope were washed away. In response to the risk of further collapse due to falling rain and aftershocks, etc., the latest unmanned construction technology, i−Construction, was incorporated in an integrated manner to conduct safe and quick work, and an unprecedented emergency disaster response was achieved as a result.
