How to use transit adjustment

ETC customers

  • Customers using ETC are requested to run the outflow designated IC wirelessly and the re-inflow designated IC wirelessly. (No transit certificate will be issued for ETC vehicles.)
  • ETC time zone discount will be applied, considering the transited journey as one.
    Toll charges are adjusted at the time of billing, so they may differ from those displayed at the toll gate.
  • Insert the same ETC card for all journeys and pass through the ETC lane at the tollgate.

Customers such as cash

  • Customers who pay by cash, etc. should receive the "passage certificate" at the outflow designated IC, and then get the "passport" at the re-inflow designated IC, and then make the "transfer" at the toll booth that pays the fare first. Please give us your "certificate" and "passport".

Common to ETC and cash customers

  • If the suspension of traffic is released after the outflow designated IC is released, the fare will be adjusted even if it is re-introduced from the IC (including the outflow designated IC) in the closed road section in the forward direction.

Four. Construction overview

We are proceeding with the installation of yield lanes as a countermeasure against traffic congestion, and as the new lanes will interfere with Kan-Etsu Expressway that intersects with the Kanetsu Expressway, we will need to remove them and install new ones. During this road closure, the existing bridge will be removed. A multi-axle truck will be used for the removal work, which will block the driving and passing lanes, so it will be necessary to close the road.
In order to minimize the inconvenience to customers, the road will be closed on weekday nights when there is less traffic. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
