E48 Yamagata Expressway (hereinafter referred to as Yamagata Expressway) celebrated the 20th anniversary of the opening of all lines on August 9, 3rd year of Reiwa.
NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office (Miyagino-ku, Sendai City) has been used by customers who use Expressway on a regular basis, as well as people along the railway lines from the construction of the Yamagata Expressway to the present. We would like to inform you that we have summarized the maintenance effects so that you can widely know the progress and its effects.
- Traffic volume has increased up to about 6 times since the opening due to network development
The number of vehicles used per day has increased up to about 6 times due to the development of the network, and is currently about 18,300 units / day (2019). - Yamagata Expressway enables safe and secure passage even in the event of a disaster
It functions as an alternative road when parallel general roads are closed due to a disaster or the like. - Contribution to tourism promotion in tourist destinations and Yamagata Prefecture
During the Gassan Ski Resort's business period and when Japan's No. 1 Imo-boiled Festival is held, the number of visitors from outside the prefecture using the Yamagata Expressway increases, contributing to the revitalization of regional exchanges. - Reduction of emergency transportation time
The transportation time has been shortened by establishing an exit route that allows direct access to the hospital adjacent to Yamagata Expressway from Expressway. - Improved convenience of transportation between Yamagata and Sendai
The improvement of the Yamagata Expressway has significantly shortened the time required between Yamagata and Sendai, and the number of high-speed buses has increased about seven times, improving the convenience of commuting to work and school.
The NEXCO EAST Group has positioned the period from 2021 to 2025 as "a period that contributes to the achievement of the SDGs and transforms into a new future society," and is making various efforts.
This "Summary of the effects of the 20th anniversary of the opening of the entire Yamagata Expressway" is the SDGs target No. 3 and No. 8 as business activities that will lead to the revitalization of the local economy and support for regional medical care by improving and strengthening the Expressway network. We believe that it will contribute to the 9th and 11th.
