2. Detour

For detours, please refer to [Attachment 1] to [Attachment 3] [PDF: 874KB].
The detour will increase the travel time, so please allow plenty of time for your trip.

3. Regarding transit adjustments due to suspension of traffic

For customers who temporarily leave Expressway due to road closures, bypass the closed section, re-enter and transfer in the forward direction, we will implement "transfer adjustment" in which tolls will be adjusted according to the section used. Masu.
(Refer to [Attachment 4] to [Attachment 5] [PDF: 179KB])

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

Due to damage to the road surface at the Akita Expressway Upper and Lower Line Yuda IC ~ Omagari IC and Yuzawa-Yokote Road Upper and Lower Line Yuzawa IC ~ Yokote IC, pavement repair work will be carried out.
