NEXCO EAST Aizuwakamatsu Management Office (Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture) repairs roads between the Ban-Etsu Expressway Aizu-Wakamatsu Interchange (IC) and Aizu-Sakashita IC and Nishi-Aizu IC-Tsugawa IC in a two-lane section (one lane on each side). In order to carry out construction, repair and inspection/cleaning of tunnel equipment, we will carry out night traffic closures as follows.

Since this work is necessary to maintain a safe and comfortable environment on the Expressway, we apologize for the inconvenience to our customers, but we ask that you take advantage of the detour (National Route 49) of the general road. Thank you for your cooperation.

5 Regarding transfer fare adjustment due to suspension of traffic

Passengers who flow out of the Expressway due to suspension of traffic, bypass the suspension of traffic, and then transfer again in the same direction, will make "transit adjustment" to adjust the toll according to the segment used.

How to use transit fare adjustment

[Customers of ETC]

  • Customers using ETC are requested to run the outflow IC wirelessly and the re-inflow IC wirelessly. (“Transit certificate” will not 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 in cash, etc., must receive the "transfer certificate" at the outflow IC, collect a passport at the re-inflow IC, and pass the "transfer certificate" at the toll gate that pays the fee first. Please give me your ticket.

Precautions regarding transit fare adjustment

*After canceling the suspension of traffic, the transfer fare will be adjusted even if the traffic flows in from the outflow IC.
