MC

President

[Introduction]
Before I introduce the topics, let me say a few words.
Heavy rains in July last month caused devastating damage, especially in western Japan, and restoration work continues in various places even in the heat of summer.
In addition, regarding the restoration of the damaged area between the Shokawa Interchange (IC) on the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway the HidaKiyomi IC, where the slope has been deformed within the company's jurisdiction, we are currently working on restoration, such as geological surveys and examination of countermeasure construction. We are preparing for all. In the future, we will carry out recovery work as early as possible with the customer's safety first.
To support the disaster-stricken areas, the Group donated 13.45 million yen through the Japanese Red Cross Society, including donations from group employees and donations from the company.
In addition, donation boxes have been set up at the concierge counters of 51 service areas (SA) and parking areas (PA) from August 10 to September 30, so as to solicit donations from customers.
We ask for your warm support and cooperation from those who use the Expressway.

[E1A Shin-Tomei Expwy 6-lane business license and new smart IC business]

Please see Document 2-1.
As we have already announced, we would like to reiterate today that we have received a project permit from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as of August 10, and have started the project for the six-lane project at Shin-Tomei Expwy.
Shin-Tomei Expressway The six-lane project at Expressway has been studied in accordance with the "Future Investment Strategy 2018" approved by the Cabinet in June, which calls for further improvement of the stability and efficiency of the double network of the Tomei-Meishin axis connecting the three major metropolitan areas, with a view to realizing double-connected trucks and truck formation driving on the . The Tomei and Meishin axes are expected to further improve the stability and efficiency of the double network connecting the three metropolitan areas.
Based on the above, it was decided to preemptively convert the Shizuoka Prefecture section from Gotemba junction to Hamamatsu-Inasa junction to six lanes, which is particularly problematic from the perspective of ensuring stable traffic in the event of road closures, large-scale disasters, or renewal work.
This is expected to improve productivity by increasing logistics efficiency, secure stable traffic by strengthening redundancy, and ensure smooth traffic when renewal work is conducted on the Tomei.
It is expected to be in service roughly two years later in a phased manner. We will closely examine the details in the future, but we will proceed with construction as quickly as possible to meet everyone's expectations.
On the same day, we additionally announced the forecast of construction orders for FY2018, so please refer to our official website for details.
Please refer to the next page, Document 2-2.
As for the new smart IC, we also received a project permit from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on the same date and have started the project.
There are two smart interchanges in our service area: Taga-SIC, which connects to Meishin Expwy near Taga SA, and the Taki Smart IC at Ise Expwy.

The Taki Smart IC has been reported, but will be the first smart IC directly connected to private facilities in Japan.
In the future, we will work closely with related organizations such as local governments and businesses of private facilities to promote the development.

MC

These are the topics we have prepared today. Now, let's receive your questions.

Reporter

Regarding the 6 lanes of Shin-Tomei Expressway, it is said that there will be sections where construction will be completed as soon as 2 years later, but please tell us when it is expected to be used as a whole with 6 lanes.

President

I can't say at this stage, but we want to get it in service as soon as possible.

Reporter

Please tell us two points about Communication Plaza Fuji. The first point is the number of visitors per year and the renewal points such as “70 inch monitor” and “VR video” are introduced, but other special exhibitions and actual exhibitions are also new. Please tell me if it will be renewed or not.

Employee

The number of visitors is approximate because there are no detailed figures at hand, but in the first year of 2012, about 4,000 people visited the museum. Since then, it has averaged around 2,000 people annually. Regarding the second point, we are completely renewing everything except the large screen monitor and VR. In particular, in the part of the special exhibition, we would like to change the content of the exhibition, such as displaying seasonal topics depending on the period.

Reporter

Although it is a little detailed story, for example, in the real thing exhibition, it is written as an exhibition such as `` parts used in the construction of bridges and tunnels of Shin-Tomei Expressway'', but whether the actual thing was not exhibited so far, or Is there any change in the display of Expressway parts or the increase in the amount of display?

Employee

There have been some actual exhibits. I want to enhance the content to be exhibited.

Reporter

The recovery work at Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway is to be started as soon as possible. Please let us know if you have any plans to do so or if you have any thoughts on how to deal with heavy rain disasters.

President

Geological surveys are progressing, so I think we can start construction relatively soon, but we have not yet reached the point where a specific date will be announced. In addition, the slope with the deformation was a rock-cut slope, and various geological surveys have been conducted.However, it will be a time when rainfall will increase, so we would like to consider these and proceed with the design. You.

Reporter

Regarding the traffic situation during the Bon Festival, the application date of the holiday discount was changed this year, and it was mentioned earlier that the effect was analyzed by a questionnaire survey. Please tell the target what kind of content is being implemented.

Employee

Each Expressway company conducts a web questionnaire for customers. The questionnaire asks you if you know the change of the holiday discount application date or if the schedule was actually changed. We would like to compare these results with data on traffic volume and the number of times of congestion, and analyze the effects of changing the application date.

MC

It seems that your question has been interrupted, so this is the end of your regular meeting.
