The Kamikita Expressway (上北自動車道 Kamikita Jidōshyadō) is a free two-lane expressway in Aomori Prefecture connecting the towns Tōhoku and Rokunohe. Alongside other tolled-roads, the expressway is part of a series of highways that will link the Hachinohe Expressway to the Aomori Expressway. The road is managed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and is numbered as an extension of the Tōhoku Expressway. It runs concurrent with an extension of Japan National Route 45. [3]

History

The Kamikita Expressway was designated in 1987 as part of a single expressway running from the capital city of Aomori Prefecture, Aomori to the prefecture's second largest city, Hachinohe, Aomori.[4] The first section of the expressway opened in 2013, two years ahead of schedule. This section connects the Daini-Michinoku Toll Road to Aomori Prefecture Route 211.

Future

Currently, the expressway is under construction between Aomori Prefecture Route 211 and National Route 4. The section between Route 211 and National Route 394 is scheduled to open in 2018. The remaining section between Routes 4 and 394 has no set completion date.[5]
