The Higashi-Mito Road (東水戸道路, Higashimito Dōro) is a four-lane toll road in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. It is owned and operated by East Nippon Expressway Company.
Route description
The route is officially designated as a bypass for National Route 6; however, it is functionally an extension from the eastern terminus of the Kita-Kantō Expressway. As such it is classified as a national highway for motor vehicles only with national expressway concurrency (高速自動車国道に並行する一般国道自動車専用道路, Kōsoku Jidōsha Kokudō ni Heikōsuru Ippan Kokudō Jidōsha Senyō Dōro)[3] with the same design standard as other national expressways.
History
The first section was opened to traffic in 1996. A bridge spanning the Naka River was completed in 1999,[4] completing the route. The road was expanded from 2 to 4 lanes in 2000.[4]
Junction list
The entire expressway is in Ibaraki Prefecture. The sequence of kilometer posts and exits continue from the eastern terminus of the Kita-Kantō Expressway.
