Tohoku Regional Head Office

From February 25, 2011, NEXCO EAST Tohoku Regional Head Office (Aoba Ward, Sendai City) will be replaced with a smart interchange of the Akita Expressway Nishisenkita Interchange (IC), which is being developed with Daisen City, Akita Prefecture. We will close it for about one month, so let us know.

After the switching work is completed, it will be operated as a smart interchange and it will be an IC dedicated to ETC, so please note that it can not be used by vehicles without ETC on-board equipment and customers who do not have an ETC card.
