2. Detour

For detours, please refer to Appendix 1 [PDF: 229KB].
The detour will increase travel time, so please allow yourself plenty of time when traveling.

3. Regarding transit adjustments due to suspension of traffic

For customers who exit Expressway due to a road closure, detour around the closed section, then re-enter and transfer in the forward direction, a "transfer adjustment" will be implemented in which the toll will be adjusted according to the section of the expressway used.
(See Attachment 2 [PDF: 125KB])

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. work outline

We will conduct a facility inspection in the tunnel at the Higashi-Nakamichi In-bound Line Yamagata Kamiyama IC ⇒ Nanyo Takahata IC. Since there is a one-lane section on each side, the work will be closed to traffic. In order to minimize inconvenience to customers, we will close roads on weekday evenings when traffic is low, and conduct inspections intensively and efficiently. This inspection is necessary for safe and comfortable use of Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
