# Chūbu-Jūkan Expressway

The Chūbu-Jūkan Expressway (中部縦貫自動車道, Chūbu-Jūkan Jidōsha-dō) is an incomplete national expressway in Nagano Prefecture, Gifu Prefecture, and Fukui Prefecture. It is owned and operated primarily by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), but also has sections maintained and tolled by the Central Nippon Expressway Company in Nagano and Gifu. The route is signed E67 under MLIT's "2016 Proposal for Realization of Expressway Numbering."

## Naming

The name for the expressway, Chūbu-Jūkan, is simply descriptive of its function in the region it serves, as it crosses through (縦貫, jūkan) the Chūbu region (中部地方, Chūbu-chihō).

## History

The first section of the road was built over the Aburasaka Pass between Fukui and Gifu prefectures in 1987. Since then it has been expanded in short segments with the most recent section opening at its western terminus at the Hokuriku Expressway in the city of Fukui in 2017.
