In response to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident, Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc. 3 To transport the water tank, large trailers form a line as shown below, and pass through the Expressway at a low speed (about 50 km/h).
When platooning large trailers, traffic restrictions such as overtaking and temporary closure of the entrance to the toll gate are planned, and congestion is expected. It is also planned that multiple large trailers will be parked in the service area and parking area at the same time in order to mitigate long-term customer follow-up driving.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we ask our customers to be careful when traveling and to have enough time to travel.
