名神高速・関ヶ原IC付近で立ち往生続く 運転手「かれこれ6時間、しんどい」…岐阜県は災害対策本部設置 (24/01/24 18:29)
Summary
TLDRDue to heavy snowfall, part of the Meishin Expressway in Gifu Prefecture was closed, causing major traffic congestion. Vehicles were stuck in standstills for 5-6km in both directions near the Sekigahara Interchange. The closures were likely caused by trucks getting stuck in the snow, which then accumulated and immobilized other vehicles behind them. With no estimated time for reopening, Nexco Central Japan is distributing food and supplies to stranded drivers while working to clear the roads. Gifu Prefecture has set up a disaster response headquarters to assist with snow removal and support drivers.

Outlines
❄️ Impact of Snowfall on Traffic in Gifu Prefecture
In Gifu Prefecture, heavy snowfall has led to the closure of parts of the Meishin Expressway, resulting in significant traffic jams on nearby roads. The area around Sekigahara Town experienced record snowfall, with 58 cm of snow causing major disruptions, including a large-scale traffic jam on the Meishin Expressway between the Gifuhashima Interchange and the Ritto Kona Interchange in Shiga Prefecture. The traffic standstill extended approximately 5 km downward near the Sekigahara Interchange and about 6 km upward from the same point. The Gifu Prefectural Police suggest that the traffic jam was initially caused by a trailer that got stuck due to spinning tires on the snow-covered road. Additionally, vehicles attempting to exit the expressway were trapped by the closure of regular roads, further exacerbating the situation. Drivers have been stuck for around 6 hours, facing difficulties due to the snow. Emergency supplies, including calorie meals, blankets, and portable toilets, are being distributed by NEXCO Central Japan to those affected. Despite these efforts, there is no immediate forecast for when the situation will be resolved, as a vehicle breakdown 2 km ahead needs to be cleared before snow removal can proceed. Gifu Prefecture has set up a disaster response headquarters and is providing assistance, including food distribution, to the stranded drivers.
