Route description

Officially, the road is designated as a bypass for National Route 139. It is also classified as a road for motor vehicles only (自動車専用道路, Jidōsha Senyō Dōro) and access is controlled with interchanges and junctions in a similar manner to national expressways in Japan.

The road connects the cities of Fuji and Fujinomiya in Shizuoka Prefecture. In Fuji, the road connects directly to an interchange with the Tōmei Expressway and follows a northeasterly course to Fujinomiya.

Tolls are collected at a toll plaza near the northern terminus in Fujinomiya. The toll for a regular passenger car is 200 yen. Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) is accepted for payment, however no discount programs are in effect. Since there are no toll collection points between Fuji Interchange and Hiromi Interchange this section of the road is effectively free.

History

The Nishi-Fuji Road opened on 2 April 1982. On 14 April 2012, the road received another junction with the newly built Shin-Tōmei Expressway.[3]
