NEXCO EAST Sendai Higashi Management Office (Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture) will be closing the interchanges (hereinafter referred to as "IC") and junctions (hereinafter referred to as "JCT") on Sendai-Tobu Road (hereinafter referred to as "Higashi Road") at night to carry out pavement repair work.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we ask for your understanding and cooperation in allowing yourself plenty of time when heading out.

1. Lamp closure location and date and time

2. Transfer arrangements due to the 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 Documents 3-5 [PDF: 464KB])

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.''

Common to ETC and cash customers

• If the road closure is lifted after exiting at an exit IC, the toll will be adjusted even if you re-enter from an IC in the road closure section in the forward direction or from an exit IC.

3. Construction overview

Pavement repair work will be performed at each IC and JCT on the Eastern Highway due to the progressive deterioration of the pavement.
Since the work cannot be carried out under normal lane restrictions, it is necessary to close the ramps for the work. Therefore, in order to minimize inconvenience to customers, the ramp will be closed during the nighttime on weekdays when traffic volume is low, and the work will be carried out in an intensive and efficient manner. We ask for your understanding and cooperation as this work is necessary for the safe and comfortable use of Expressway.
