Traffic flow has resumed on the Kochi Tobu Expressway between the Nankoku Minami and Kochi Ryoma Airport interchanges following an earlier accident.
According to police reports, the expressway was closed in both directions starting around 6:20 p.m. On March 5, 2026, due to the incident. The roadway reopened at 8:50 p.m.
The disruption on this key route highlights the potential for traffic issues even on relatively modern roadways. The Kochi Tobu Expressway is a toll-free, dedicated highway connecting Kochi City and An’yo City, and is currently undergoing further expansion.
