As of 12 o'clock
Due to strong winter atmospheric pressure patterns, we expect to implement early preventive road closures in some sections within our jurisdiction to prevent large-scale vehicle backlogs.
In addition, there are sections where there is a high possibility of road closures even outside of sections where preventive road closures are expected.
Please refrain from going out to protect your life.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
■ Preventive road closures expected to begin
■ Sections where road closures are likely
*There is a possibility that the parallel national highway may also be closed.
* Hokuriku Expressway (north of Tsuruga IC) may also be closed due to future snowfall forecasts.

Please refrain from going out to protect your life.
If you have to use Expressway, please wear winter tires and tire chains, as well as carry food, water, and fuel.
*Driving on snowy roads with normal tires is against the law.
If even one vehicle becomes unable to drive on an Expressway, it can lead to long periods of traffic congestion and road closures. Before setting off, please check the latest weather forecast and road traffic information, and reconsider your plans to go out or take a wide-area detour to avoid snowy areas.
We also ask that transportation companies and shippers check the upcoming weather forecast and cooperate by adjusting transportation dates and taking wide-area detours to avoid areas experiencing snowfall.
