How to use transit adjustment

<< ETC customers >>

  • For customers using ETC, please drive wirelessly at designated outflow ICs, and also wirelessly drive at re-inflow ICs. (Transfer certificates are not 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 for cash, etc. >>

  • Customers paying with cash, etc. should receive a "transfer certificate" at the outflow designated IC, then take a "transit ticket" at the re-inflow IC, and then take the "transition certificate" at the toll booth where they pay the toll for the first time. Please hand over your ``book'' and ``traffic ticket.''

《Common to customers such as ETC and cash》

  • 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

Pavement repair work and bridge inspections will be conducted on the Higashi-Kanto East Highway. The section where this work will be performed is one lane in each direction, and since it is not possible to perform the work with normal lane restrictions, it will be necessary to close the section to traffic. In addition, bridge repair work will be conducted on the East Mito Road. Since the work is to be done at high elevations, it will be necessary to close the road to traffic.
In order to minimize inconvenience to our customers, we will close the road during the night on weekdays when traffic volume is low, and conduct the work in an intensive and efficient manner. We ask for your understanding and cooperation as this work is necessary for the safe and comfortable use of Expressway.
