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 under the "2016 Proposal for Realization of Expressway Numbering".[2]

Shin-Tōmei Expressway provides more direct and shorter route between Tokyo and Nagoya compared to 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 162km section from Gotemba, Shizuoka to Mikkabi, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka.

On February 13, 2016, the 55km 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, but the section between Ebina and Gotemba is under construction.[3]

Future[]

The section between Gotemba JCT and Ebina JCT is still under construction and slated to open in 2023 . 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 70 billion dollars).
