East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd.

  • Expressway, snow removal and spraying of anti-freezing agents on road surfaces are being carried out for safe driving in the winter, but we are having trouble contacting our customers' vehicles with these work vehicles.
  • Since the work vehicle travels at a low speed of about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour, when the work vehicle is traveling in front, do not overtake by force, reduce the speed and secure a sufficient inter-vehicle distance, Please follow the signs. Please do not pass a snowplow while working, as it is extremely dangerous.
  • In order to ensure that the customer's car can safely overtake the work vehicle, the work vehicle will be temporarily stopped on the shoulder when it passes the interchange, service area, and parking area.

To protect the safety of Expressway, we do our best to remove snow. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but we ask for your understanding and cooperation in order to drive safely.

For information on work such as snow removal, please use the road information boards, highway radio (AM1620), and highway telephones.
