East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd.
Hokkaido Regional Head Office

A long and severe winter is about to arrive in Hokkaido. During winter, traffic accidents occur frequently and snow can cause road closures, so it is even more necessary to secure safe traffic.

For this reason, NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Regional Head Office (Sapporo City Atsubetsu Ward) positions the period from October 16 to April 30 as the snow and ice countermeasure period, and allocates vehicles and personnel for weather, road conditions, snow removal work, etc. for 24 hours. We are planning to arrange a system for placement.

The date of the first snow observation at Expressway is attached. Customers who use Expressway are requested to wear winter tires and other early winter equipment.

In addition, this winter, NEXCO EAST Group is determined to work together to secure safe traffic, and the "Expressway snow and ice countermeasures launch ceremony" will be held as follows. I will.
