2. Detour

For detour information, please refer to Attachment 1 [PDF: 243KB].
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 the toll will be adjusted according to the section used. Masu. (See Attachment 2 [PDF: 393KB])

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

At Yamagata Expressway Upper and Lower Lines Murata JCT ~ Miyagi Kawasaki IC, we will carry out sign work to install new gate-type sign pillars and sign boards. In this work, it is necessary to carry out the construction with a large crane, and since it is not possible to carry out the construction under normal lane regulations, it is necessary to close the main line to traffic and carry out the work.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to customers, we will close the road at night on weekdays when traffic is low, and carry out construction intensively and efficiently. This is necessary for the safe and comfortable use of the Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
