List of interchanges and features

Naruto TB - Takamatsu-Nishi IC

Due to open the expressway from Takamatsu towards Matsuyama, kilometer markers between Naruto Toll Gate and Takamatsu-Nishi Interchange show the distance from Naruto Toll Gate plus 100 (the marker at Naruto Toll Gate is 100.0 while the marker at Takamatsu-Nishi Interchange is 165.4). Therefore, the exit numbers continue from the sequence of the Takamatsu-Nishi Interchange, starting at 7.
