Usage Guide

2. Detour

For information on alternative routes, please refer to Attachment 1 [PDF: 442KB].
The detour will increase your travel time, so please allow ample time for your journey.

3. Regarding transit adjustments due to suspension of traffic

For customers who exit Expressway due to a road closure, detour around the closed section, and then re-enter to continue their journey in the same direction, a "transfer adjustment" will be implemented to adjust the toll based on the section of the expressway used. (See Attachment 2 [PDF: 538KB])

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.
• Izumi PA Smart IC, Sugo Smart IC, and Sanbongi Smart IC are only accessible to ETC vehicles.

Four. Construction overview

Due to road surface damage, pavement repair work will be carried out on the northbound and southbound lanes Sendai-Hokubu Road between Rifu JCT and Tomiya IC, and on the southbound and southbound lanes Sendai-Nanbu Road between Nagamachi IC and Sendai Minami IC. To minimize inconvenience to our customers, road closures will be implemented during weekday nights when traffic volume is low, allowing for concentrated and efficient work. This work is necessary to ensure the safe and comfortable use of Expressway, and we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
