Happy Golden Week!! ๐ณ๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐พ
PSA: Hitoyoshi-Hinagu-Minamata (E3A) South Kyushu Expressway Night Closure later in May (15th-25th).
Ruth here! Coming back from Kagoshima, via Minamata, there were signs on the E3A South Kyushu Expressway (Minamata-Hinagu and Yatsushiro-Hinagu) stating night-time (8pm-6am!) closures for maintenance later this month, from the 15th to 25th May, excluding Saturdays and Sundays.
Please note that is NOT the E3 Kyushu Expressway, but the toll-free E3A South Kyushu Expressway
So, if you plan on taking that route between the 15th to 25th May, bear in mind that it’ll be closed most nights from 8pm to 6am.
The images in the Japanese link below clearly show the route closures, and other pertinent info - just like the image here, taken from the link: https://corp.w-nexco.co.jp/corporate/release/kyushu/r5/0414a/
