日勝隘口 / Nisshou Pass

日勝隘口是位在日高町和清水町界線的隘口。夏天多霧，冬天降雪，一旦路面結冰行駛的道路狀況就會變得很危險，但它是連結札幌所在地的道央地區和帶廣、釧路所在地的道東地區的道路要衝。2016年8月30日因颱風來襲，造成日勝隘口路面崩塌、橋樑中斷。以2017年秋季搶修完成為目標目前還在施工中。因此作為替代道路的高速公路從占冠到音更帶廣這一區間是不收過路費的。

Nisshou Pass is between Hidaka Town and Shimizu Town, and is the border between them. As driving conditions are difficult due to dense fog in summer, and snow and ice on the road in winter, drivers have to be careful. This pass is important for transportation, connecting the Douou area (including Sapporo), and the Doutou area (including Obihiro and Kushiro). On August 30, 2016, a big typhoon hit, with landslides, road damage and bridge collapses occurring. As of December, 2016, construction work is still being undertaken, and will be finished in autumn 2017. During the construction, the paid express way between Shimukappu and Otofuke Obihiro is free.
