Usage Guide

2. Detour

For information on alternative routes, please refer to Attachment 1 [PDF: 182KB].
The detour will increase your travel time, so please allow extra 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 sections used. (See Attachment 2 [PDF: 145KB])

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.
• Hachinohe-Nishi Smart Interchange is only accessible to vehicles with ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) systems.

Four. Construction overview

At Hachinohe Road Upper and Lower Line Nango IC ~ Hachinohe IC, we will carry out the removal of the gate pillar because there is a gate-type information board that is no longer needed due to the information board update 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 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.
