◆ How to use transit adjustment

<< ETC customers >>

  • Customers using ETC are requested to run the outflow designated IC wirelessly and the re-inflow designated IC wirelessly. (No transit certificate will be 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.

<< Customers for cash, etc. >>

  • Customers who pay by cash, etc. should receive the "passage certificate" at the outflow designated IC, and then get the "passport" at the re-inflow designated IC, and then make the "transfer" at the toll booth that pays the fare first. Please give us your "certificate" and "passport".

4 Construction overview

Higashi Kanto Expressway Hokota IC-Ibarakicho JCT, we will carry out sign board replacement work to number the sign boards. When carrying out construction work, it is necessary to carry out work by closing the road, as construction cannot be performed under normal lane regulations. Therefore, to minimize the inconvenience to our customers, we will close the road at night on weekdays when traffic is low, and implement construction intensively and efficiently.

Since this work is necessary to use the Expressway safely and comfortably, we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
