April 4, 2008
East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd.
Hokkaido Regional Head Office

NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Regional Head Office (Sapporo City Atsubetsu-ku, Regional Head Office president: Katsuji Kubotera) will be at the Golden Week time (April 25, 2008 (Fri) to May 6, 2008 (Tue) for 12 days). , I have summarized "Trends of Congestion Occurrence" and "Locations of Congestion Prediction and Required Travel Time" due to traffic concentration on Expressway in Hokkaido.

Please use this to create a comfortable travel plan, such as shifting the departure time of customers before and after the time when peak traffic congestion is expected. At toll booths where congestion is expected to occur, efforts will be made to reduce congestion by installing temporary booths.

Also, traffic conditions may change due to accidents or abnormal weather. Please confirm the road conditions on the day of use at the Japan Road Traffic Information Center, highway telephone, etc. before departure.

  • IC stands for interchange.

Note) The traffic congestion at the Yubari IC exit is considered to be due to the traffic congestion on the connecting Route 274.
Also, the traffic congestion at the Otaru IC exit is considered to be due to traffic restrictions due to bridge replacement work on the Otaru Rinko Line highway.
Please confirm the road conditions on the day of use at the Japan Road Traffic Information Center, highway telephone, etc. in advance.
