ＥＴＣ障害、復旧作業続く　長野も一部利用できず―中日本高速

　中日本高速道路（ＮＥＸＣＯ中日本）管内の高速道路で発生した自動料金収受システム（ＥＴＣ）の障害で、同社は７日も復旧作業を続けた。新たに長野県内でも一部、ＥＴＣが利用できなくなっていることが判明した。
　システム障害は６日午前０時半ごろ発生。同社によると、東名高速道路や中央自動車道など１７路線、８都県の高速料金所など計１０６カ所でＥＴＣが利用できなくなった。同社は６日午後からＥＴＣ専用レーンを開放し、利用者には同社サイトで後日精算するよう呼び掛けている。
　７月実施予定の深夜割引見直しに向け、５日に行ったシステム改造作業が影響した可能性が高いとみられ、同社は引き続き詳しい原因を調べている。（2025/04/07-10:53）

A glitch in the electronic toll collection system on some Japanese expressways continued into Monday, impacting 106 toll gates on 17 roads in eight prefectures.
   In addition to major expressways such as the Tomei and Chuo expressways, the problem was newly found to be affecting some toll gates in the central prefecture of Nagano, according to Central Nippon Expressway Co.
   The company opened the ETC-only lanes at affected toll gates Sunday afternoon, and is calling on drivers using the lanes to pay the tolls through its website at a later date.
   The glitch, which occurred at around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, is likely related to a system update conducted Saturday, ahead of changes to late-night toll discounts to be implemented in July. Central Nippon Expressway is continuing to investigate the details of the issue.
   Hitoshi Ishiguro, 56, who was heading to work in the city of Kofu in Yamanashi Prefecture, west of Tokyo, said that there was a traffic jam with over 30 vehicles Monday morning at a toll gate on the off ramp of the Chuo Expressway at the Ichinomiyamisaka interchange, as vehicles lined up to pay toll fees.
