3. Regarding transit adjustments due to suspension of traffic

　通行止め区間①：かみのやま温泉IC～山形上山IC
　通行止めにより高速道路を一旦流出し、通行止め区間を迂回して、再流入して順方向に乗り継がれるお客さまには、ご利用区間に応じて通行料金を調整する「乗継調整」を実施します。（別紙-3【PDF：132KB】別紙-4【PDF：125KB】参照）

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.
• Yamagata PA Smart IC is only available for vehicles with ETC.

Four. work outline

We will conduct equipment inspections in the tunnel between Kaminoyama Onsen IC ~ Yamagata Kaminoyama IC on the Tohoku Chuo Expressway, Nanyo Takahata IC ~ Kaminoyama Onsen IC on the Yamagata Expressway, and at the Sagae IC ⇒ Tsukiyama IC on the Yamagata Expressway.
Since this section 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 the safe and comfortable use of Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
