Kan-Etsu Expressway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kan-etsu Expressway (関越自動車道 Kan'etsu Jidōsha-dō?) is a divided, limited-access toll road that connects the Kantō region and the Kō-Shin-Etsu part of the Chubu region of Japan. Its name comes from Kantō and Etsu.

The Kan-etsu has two routes. Both begin in Tokyo and end in Niigata Prefecture. One route goes to the city of Niigata, the other terminates in Joetsu.

[edit] Niigata Route

Major highlights of the Niigata Route include the following:

  • Nerima Interchange: An extension to the Shuto Expressway No.10 Harumi Route (under construction) to meet the Kan-etsu here is under consideration.
  • Oizumi Junction: Tokyo Gaikan Expressway
  • Tsurugashima Junction: Ken-O Expressway
  • Kan-etsu Tunnel: 11 km, longest in Japan
  • Nagaoka Junction: Hokuriku Expressway
