2. Detour

For information on alternative routes, please refer to Attachments 1 [PDF: 314KB], 2 [PDF: 304KB], and 3 [PDF: 301KB].
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 sections used. (See Attachment 4 [PDF: 131KB])

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.
• Hachinohe-Nishi Smart Interchange is only accessible to ETC-equipped vehicles, but it is closed from 8 PM to 6 AM the following day.

Four. Construction overview

Due to road surface damage, pavement repair work will be carried out on Hachinohe Expressway between Hachinohe JCT and Hachinohe Kita IC (both directions). On Momoishi Toll Road between Hachinohe Kita IC and Shimoda Momoiwa IC (both directions), pavement replacement and bridge manhole repair work will be carried out as part of road maintenance work. In addition, lighting cleaning work will be carried out inside tunnels on Hachinohe-Kuji Expressway between Hachinohe Korekawa IC and Hachinohe JCT. To minimize inconvenience to our customers, road closures will be implemented during weekday nights when traffic volume is low, and the work will be carried out intensively and efficiently. This work is necessary to ensure the safe and comfortable use of Expressway, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
