As of 16:00
Niigata Prefectural Police Headquarters
East Nippon Expressway Co., Ltd. Niigata Regional Head Office

Niigata Prefectural Police Headquarters and NEXCO EAST Niigata Regional Head Office (Nishigata City, Nishi Ward, Regional Head Office President: Yoshio Shiraishi) will change the time limit for outflow of general vehicles at the Hokuriku Expressway Kashiwazaki IC, which has been implemented to alleviate traffic congestion in Kashiwazaki City. As a result, the time that can be leaked from Kashiwazaki IC is extended by 2 hours.
The Hokuriku Expressway Nou IC is continuing from the viewpoint of securing emergency vehicles and relief goods transportation due to the continuation of one-way alternating traffic on part of National Road No. 8 and traffic congestion around Kashiwazaki City. Since there are a lot of inquiries from customers regarding the toll-free measures between ⇔ Kan-Etsu Expressway Nagaoka IC, "is ETC free?", I will inform you again about the handling.

1 Change of time limit for general vehicle outflow at Kashiwazaki IC

Measures: Change (relaxation) of outflow time limit
  • 8:00 am to 20:00 pm General vehicles cannot be spilled (only emergency vehicles can be spilled)
  • All vehicles can be leaked from 20:00 to 8:00 the next morning
