All Metropolitan Expressway closures due to snow accumulation are expected to be lifted by the morning of August 7; NEXCO East Japan/NEXCO Central Japan will also be closed in order.

The Metropolitan Expressway announced the outlook for the future lifting of road closures due to the snowfall on February 5.

The Metropolitan Expressway has many elevated sections, and it takes time to remove the removed snow by truck.

Priority will continue to be given to clearing snow from the main lines that connect to expressways managed by NEXCO companies, and the road closures will be lifted in order. All road closures are scheduled to be lifted by tomorrow morning (the morning of January 7).
