3. Regarding transit adjustments due to suspension of traffic

For customers who temporarily leave Expressway due to road closures, bypass the closed section, re-enter and transfer in the forward direction, we will implement "transfer adjustment" in which the toll will be adjusted according to the section used. Masu. (See Attachment 2 [PDF: 159KB])

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.
• Naraha Smart IC and Minamisoma Kashima Smart IC are only accessible to ETC-equipped vehicles.

Four. Construction overview

On Joban Expressway in both directions, between the Joban-Tomioka IC and the Minami-Soma IC, lane switching work will be carried out to expand the section to four lanes. As this work requires construction on areas used by customers, it will be necessary to close the road to carry out the work. To minimize inconvenience to customers, the road closure will be carried out 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, so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
