2. Detour

For detour information, please refer to Attachment 1 [PDF: 487KB].
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 a "transfer adjustment" in which the toll will be adjusted according to the section used. Masu. (See Attachment 2 [PDF: 255KB])

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 such as cash

  • 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 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

Yamagata Expressway Upper and lower lines Yamagata JCT ~ Sagae IC Due to damage to the road surface, pavement repair work will be carried out. In addition, a section fence will be installed on a temporary two-lane bridge as a measure to prevent head-on collisions. In order to minimize inconvenience to our 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 Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
