3. 3. About transfer adjustment due to closure

For customers who exit Expressway due to nighttime closures, detour around the closures, then re-enter and transfer in the forward direction, a "transfer adjustment" will be implemented, in which the toll fee will be adjusted according to the section of the expressway used. (See Appendix 1 [PDF: 158KB])

Transfer IC

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.''

Four. Construction overview

Due to damage to the road surface, pavement repair work will be carried out on the ramp at Chiba Higashi JCT heading towards Togane from Keiyo Road In-bound lane and on the entrance ramp to Chiba-Togane Road. As the work will be carried out at the point where the ramps merge, work cannot be carried out under normal lane restrictions, and therefore the ramps at Chiba Higashi JCT and Chiba Higashi IC must be closed to carry out the work.
Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to our customers, we will close the ramps on weekdays at night when traffic volume is low, and carry out the work in a concentrated and efficient manner. This work is necessary to ensure that customers can use Expressway safely and comfortably, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
