Route description
The Izu-Jūkan Expressway at Daiba-Kannami Interchange in Mishima.

As of February 2019, the expressway exists as two separate sections that are linked by the Izu Chuodo and Shuzenji Road, roads tolled by the Shizuoka Prefecture Road Corporation. Shuzenji Road is officially a branch line of the Izu-Jūkan Expressway while Izu Chuodo is not. The northern section links the Tōmei Expressway and nearby Shin-Tōmei Expressway to Kannami to the southeast. In Kannami, the road ends, leading to the Izu Chuodo. When completed the main line of the expressway will bypass the toll roads, running to the east of them. The southern section of the expressway begins at a junction with the Shuzenji Road in the northern part of the city of Izu and travels south, parallel to Japan National Route 136. The expressway has a junction with Route 136 near the center of Izu after tunneling through the hills around the city. This junction currently serves as the southern terminus of the expressway.[2]
