The Yuzawa-Yokote Road (湯沢横手道路 Yuzawa-Yokote Dōro) is a two-lane partially-tolled road in Akita Prefecture connecting the cities Yuzawa and Yokote while bypassing the original routing of Japan National Route 13. The road is jointly managed by the East Nippon Expressway Company and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). It is numbered E13 under the MLIT's "2016 Proposal for Realization of Expressway Numbering."[1]
After 30 November 2023, it became a part of Tōhoku-Chūō Expressway, and the motorway section is guided as Tōhoku-Chūō Expressway.[2]
The total length of Yuzawa-Yokote Road is 29.0 kilometers (18.0 mi). Distance markers on the road are derived from the distance markers of Route 13 rather than starting at zero at the origin of the road, so the beginning of the route at Route 13 in Yuzawa has a marker for 182.0 kilometers (113.1 mi) rather than 0.
