Due to the effect of Typhoon No. 10 from August 30, 2016, it is difficult to enter the vehicle on National Road 274 Nissho Pass (Hidakacho Chiei to Shimizucho Shimizu, L=39.5km), which is closed to traffic. In addition to walking on foot, we have conducted various investigations into the damage situation, such as moving by bicycle/helicopter and crossing rivers with rubber boats at the bridge.

As a result, a total of 66 disasters were confirmed, including 10 bridges damaged by falling bridges, 3 damages to the avalanche/snow cover road countermeasures, and 6 damaged roads. ..

Due to the progress of the detailed survey and the examination of the restoration method and the completion of the securing of access roads for construction vehicles across all lines, it is now possible to draw up a rough process plan. We would like to inform you about the goal of lifting the road closure of Katsutoge.

It should be noted that, in practice as an alternative path of 274 national highway that is closed to traffic Doto Expressway Shimukappu free measures between the IC ~ Tokachishimizu IC will continue.
