Yamagata Expressway (between Yudonoyama IC and Shonai Asahi IC) night traffic closure

• PDF version [PDF:909KB]

NEXCO EAST Tsuruoka Management Office (Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture) will carry out night traffic closures between the Yamagata Expressway Yudonoyama Interchange (IC) and Shonai Asahi IC for pavement repair work and equipment inspections as follows.

In order to minimize the impact on traffic, we will carry out traffic closures at night when traffic volume decreases. In July, Yamagata Expressway, Tohoku-Chuo Expressway and National Route 112 (Gasan Road) will be closed at night. As a result, the use of Yamagata Expressway in the direction of Yamagata ⇔ Sakata cannot be used, so a wide-area detour using Route 13 or Route 47, or Route 7 or Route 113 (Attachment-1 [PDF: 643KB]) Is required, so please cooperate.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, as this work is necessary to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for Expressway. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
