3. Regarding transit adjustments due to suspension of traffic

通行止め区間【1】：秋田道　上下線　湯田IC～横手IC
通行止め区間【3】：秋田道　上下線　五城目八郎潟IC～琴丘森岳IC
　通行止めにより高速道路を一旦流出し、通行止め区間を迂回して、再流入して順方向に乗り継がれるお客さまには、ご利用区間に応じて通行料金を調整する「乗継調整」を実施します。（別紙-2【PDF：181KB】参照）

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.
• Nishisenboku Smart IC can only be used by ETC vehicles, but it is closed from 10pm to 6am the following day.
• Only vehicles with ETC can use Yokote Kita Smart IC.

Four. Construction overview

At Akita Road Upper and Lower Line Yuda IC ~ Yokote IC, lighting renewal work will be carried out because the lighting equipment is aging. In addition, pavement repair work will be carried out because damage to the road surface has occurred at the Akita Road Upper and Lower Line Gojome Hachirogata IC ~ Yachuryu IC. 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 carry out the construction intensively and efficiently. This is a necessary construction work for you to use the Expressway safely and comfortably, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
