Central Nippon Expressway President apologizes for stranded Meishin Expressway “Let’s prevent it from happening again”. The longest traffic jam that occurred near the Sekigahara Interchange in Gifu Prefecture was 5.5 km uphill and 6.6 km down, and it will be approximately 30 minutes until the road closure is completely lifted.

It took 34 hours. The reason for the current stranding was that the snowfall continued for a long time at a rate that exceeded previous predictions.
