Niigata office

NEXCO EAST Niigata Branch (Niigata City Chuo Ward) was established on December 1 (Friday) to December 13 (Wednesday) at five locations, expressway service area (SA) and parking area (PA) We will carry out traffic safety campaign jointly with related organizations.

In this campaign, we aim to “zero” traffic fatal accidents by inviting our customers together with related organizations to quickly install winter tires and drive safely on winter roads during the early winter season when there are concerns about an increase in traffic accidents.

In addition, during this period, we will promote early replacement with winter tires by investigating and publicizing the installation situation of winter tires at four SA/PA locations in the prefecture.
