The Aomori Expressway (青森自動車道 Aomori Jidōsha-dō) is a 2-laned national expressway in Aomori, Aomori Prefecture, Japan. It is owned and operated by East Nippon Expressway Company.

Overview

The expressway is officially referred to as the Tōhoku Jūkan Expressway Hachinohe Route.^[3]

The expressway serves as an extension to the Tōhoku Expressway (which terminates at Aomori Interchange) and runs through southern areas of the city of Aomori. Though the Aomori Expressway terminates at Aomori-higashi Interchange, it is planned to eventually connect with the terminus of the Hachinohe Expressway in the city of Hachinohe via a series of toll roads.

The speed limit is 70 km/h for the entire route.
