3 Construction overview

Since the road surface is damaged at the ramp of Tomobe JCT heading from the north Kanto Expressway west bound for the Joban Expressway Express Line, we will carry out pavement repair work. There is only one lane to carry out this construction, and it is necessary to close the lamps before carrying out the construction, as the normal lane regulations may pose a danger to the construction.

Therefore, in order to avoid inconvenience to our customers as much as possible, we will close the lamps at night when traffic is light and carry out construction work intensively and efficiently.

We ask for your understanding and cooperation so that customers can use the Expressway safely and comfortably.

5 Regarding connection adjustment due to closure

For passengers who leave the Expressway once due to the nighttime closure, bypass the closed section and transfer to the Joban Expressway again, we will make a "transfer adjustment" to adjust the toll according to the section used. (Attachment 2 [PDF: 197KB] reference)

  • Toll booth for transit adjustment
    Outflow IC: Kita-Kanto Expressway Mito South IC, Ibaraki Town East IC, Ibaraki Town West IC
    Re-inflow IC: Joban Expressway Iwama IC, Mito IC, Tomobe Smart IC (ETC use only)

How to use transit adjustment

<Customers of ETC>
  • Please use the same ETC card for the entire process of the toll gate that once leaks, the toll gate when transferring, and the final toll gate after transferring, and please use ETC wireless communication at both the entrance and exit.
    (No transit certificate will be issued for ETC vehicles)
  • ETC time zone discount will be applied, considering the transited journey as one.
    The price display shows the amount before the price adjustment. The amount will be the amount after adjusting the fee when billing from a credit card company, etc. at a later date.
<Customers such as cash>
  • Customers who pay in cash, etc., must receive the "transfer certificate" at the outflow IC, collect a passport at the re-inflow IC, and pass the "transfer certificate" at the toll gate that pays the fee first. Please give me your ticket.
