The Hitachinaka Road (常陸那珂道路, Hitachinaka Dōro) is a 4-laned expressway-standard road in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan. The section from the origin to Hitachinaka Kaihin Kōen Interchange is a toll road operated by Ibaraki Prefecture Road Public Corporation, and the remaining section from Hitachinaka Kaihin Kōen Interchange to the terminus is a free road managed by Ibaraki Prefecture.
The road is officially designated as Prefectural Route 57, however it is functionally an extension of the Kita-Kantō Expressway and Higashi-Mito Road. As such it is classified as a road for motor vehicles only (自動車専用道路, Jidōsha Senyō Dōro) (motor vehicles must have a displacement of at least 125 cc) with the same design standard as other national expressways.
As of May 2008 the fare on the tolled section is 100 yen for cars and 150 yen for large trucks and buses.[1] Tolls are collected at 2 stations at Hitachinaka Interchange. Through traffic to and from the Higashi-Mito Road pay at a toll gate on the main route (managed by East Nippon Expressway Company), while traffic leaving and entering the Hitachinaka Road via the interchange use separate toll booths on the entrance/exit ramps (these toll booths do not accept ETC).[1] The speed limit is 80 km/h.
