Highway system

The Shin-Tōmei Expressway (新東名高速道路, Shin Tōmei Kōsoku Dōro), literally meaning New Tōmei, is a national expressway in Japan running parallel to the Tomei Expressway as an alternate route. It is operated by Central Nippon Expressway Company. The expressway is also numbered E1A, E52 and E69 under the "2016 Proposal for Realization of Expressway Numbering".[2]

Shin-Tōmei Expressway provides a more direct and shorter route between Tokyo and Nagoya compared to the Tōmei Expressway and avoids most city centres along the way. Its western terminus connects with Isewangan Expressway in Nagoya.

History

Shin-Tōmei Expressway was partially opened on April 14, 2012 with 162 km section from Gotemba, Shizuoka to Mikkabi, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka.

On February 13, 2016, the 55 km section connecting with the eastern terminus of Isewangan Expressway in Nagoya to Mikkabi was opened.

On January 28, 2018, the outer circumferential highway of Tokyo, the Ken-Ō Expressway, was linked with the Shin-Tōmei Expressway in Ebina, Kanagawa.

On March 7, 2019, the Shin Tomei Expressway between the Atsugi Minami IC and the Isehara JCT was opened to traffic.

On March 15, 2020, a 3 km section between the Isehara JCT and the Isehara-Oyama IC was opened to traffic.

On April 10, 2021, the section between the Gotemba JCT and the Shin Gotemba IC was opened to traffic.

On April 16, 2022, a 13 km section between the Isehara-Oyama IC and the Shin Hadano IC was opened to traffic, but the 25 km section between the Shin Gotemba IC and the Shin Hadano IC is still under construction.

Future

The section between Shin Gotemba IC and Shin Hadano IC is still under construction and slated to open in 2027. Once completed, Shin-Tōmei offers direct connection between Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo through Isewangan Expressway and the Shin-Meishin Expressway. The entire cost for the project from Tokyo to Osaka is 7 trillion yen (around 50 billion dollars).
