NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Regional Head Office (Sapporo City Atsubetsu-ku, Regional Head Office president: Yuki Yamamoto) will set up the first ETC lane of Doto Motor (Tomamu IC ~ Honbetsu IC / Ashoro IC) at the Ikeda Main Line toll gate as follows. It will be announced.

For toll booths on the Doto Expressway not yet been developed, we are preparing for the introduction of ETC in conjunction with the opening of the 2009 Shimukappu IC (tentative name) to Tomamu IC.

Prior to the ETC lane maintenance, we are planning a local campaign to offer on-board equipment at a low price by simultaneously joining with our partner credit card, so we will inform you as soon as the details are decided.

Please consider introducing ETC so that you can use the Expressway easily and efficiently.
