2. Detour

For detours, please refer to Attachment 1 [PDF: 145KB] and Attachment 2 [PDF: 177KB].
The detour will increase travel time, so please allow yourself plenty of time when traveling.

3. Regarding transit adjustments due to suspension of traffic

Closed section ①:
Sagae IC to Nishikawa IC
Road closure section ③:
Kaminoyama Onsen IC to Yamagata Kaminoyama IC
Road closure section ④:
Nanyo Takahata IC to Kaminoyama Onsen IC

For customers who exit Expressway due to a road closure, detour around the closed section, then re-enter and transfer in the same direction, a "transfer adjustment" will be implemented, adjusting the toll according to the section of the expressway they are using. (See Appendix 3 [PDF: 130KB], Appendix 4 [PDF: 131KB], and Appendix 5 [PDF: 130KB].)

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 suspension of traffic is released after the outflow designated IC is released, the fare will be adjusted even if it is re-introduced from the IC (including the outflow designated IC) in the closed road section in the forward direction.
  • Yamagata PA Smart IC is only available for vehicles with ETC.
  • The Sagae SA Smart IC is only available to ETC-equipped vehicles, but is closed from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the next day.

Four. work outline

We will inspect tunnel emergency equipment at Yamagata Expressway Upper and Lower Lines Sagae IC ~ Gassan IC and Tohoku Chuo Expressway Upper and Lower Lines Nanyo Takahata IC ~ Yamagata Kamiyama IC.
Since the section in question is a one-lane section on each side, it will be a road closure work. In order to avoid causing as much inconvenience as possible to customers, we will close the road on weekday nights when there is little traffic, and conduct inspections intensively and efficiently. This is a necessary inspection for safe and comfortable use of Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
