Following the occurrence of the 2008 Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku Earthquake, we closed roads from 8:44 in areas where there was a large amount of sway, conducted an emergency inspection, and canceled the safety check, until 13:10. You can now travel on all routes.
After that, due to urgent restoration work, we partially closed the road from 16:00, but at 19:15 the road closed due to the earthquake was lifted and the entire line was closed.
In addition, if there is a need for future aftershocks, heavy rain, or recovery work, traffic may be closed again. Japan Road Traffic Information Center website Please check at the information terminals in the service area and parking area.
