Today (11th), the third day of the Lunar New Year holiday, a procession of vehicles returning to Seoul continues, causing congestion on major roads across the country heading to Seoul.

According to data from the Korea Expressway Corporation, as of 4 p.m., the estimated time it takes to travel by car from major city toll booths across the country to Seoul is 7 hours and 10 minutes in Busan, 6 hours and 40 minutes in Ulsan, 5 hours and 50 minutes in Mokpo, and 6 hours in Gwangju and Daegu. 10 minutes, Daejeon 3 hours 50 minutes, Gangneung 4 hours 20 minutes.

Conversely, the travel time from Seoul to each city is 4 hours 40 minutes for Busan, 4 hours 10 minutes for Ulsan, 3 hours 40 minutes for Mokpo, 3 hours 20 minutes for Gwangju, 3 hours 40 minutes for Daegu, 2 hours 50 minutes for Gangneung, and 1 hour 40 minutes for Daejeon. It was expected.

As of 3:30 p.m., communication on the Seoul-bound Gyeongbu Expressway is frustrating due to an increase in vehicles in various places, including from Dallaenae to Banpo and Anseong Junction, from Oksan Junction to Cheongju Rest Area, and Giheung.

On the Seohaean Expressway toward Seoul, vehicles are not moving at the correct speed in the sections from Maesong Rest Area to Yongdam Tunnel, near Balan, near Seopyeongtaek Junction, and between Dangjin Junction and Seohae Bridge. Vehicles are also slowing down in the 22km section from Jeongwoo Tunnel to Charyeong Tunnel in the Cheonan direction on Nonsan-Cheonan Expressway. I’m doing this turtle walk.

The Korea Road Corporation predicted that traffic flow in both directions would be congested today due to last-minute arrivals and passengers returning home.

Congestion in the homebound direction is expected to reach its peak around 4-5 p.m. and be resolved around 7-8 p.m. Congestion in the homebound direction is also expected to peak at 4-5 p.m. and then resolve at 2-3 a.m. tomorrow (12th). .

Today’s national traffic volume estimate is 5.15 million vehicles, with 370,000 vehicles expected to move from the metropolitan area to the provinces and 480,000 vehicles from the provinces to the metropolitan area.
