The Shuto Expressway will expand its ETC-only entrances from late May.
As of November 2024, the ETC usage rate on the Shuto Expressway was 98.4%. In addition to the 35 currently operating ETC-only toll booths, 55 new locations will be converted to ETC-only in fiscal year 2025. The renovated entrances will have additional antennas and video intercoms installed. Vehicles not equipped with ETC will need to pass through a support lane. In conjunction with the renovations, toll booth construction that involves entrance closures will commence sequentially.
Based on the status of renovation work, the plan is to make the toll booths at entrances ETC-only by spring 2028, except for some main lane toll booths. Furthermore, flexible pricing such as discounts during off-peak hours and on certain routes is planned.
