Traffic Controls for Yeouido Fireworks Festival Today... Yeouinaru Station Trains to Bypass Non-Stop from 7 PM

Traffic congestion is expected around the Han River in Seoul today (the 5th) due to the fireworks festival.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency will fully restrict vehicle traffic on Yeouidong-ro (from the southern end of Mapo Bridge to the 63 Building) from 3 PM to midnight today in preparation for the Seoul International Fireworks Festival.

Vehicle traffic on Wonhyo Bridge will also be fully restricted in both directions from 9 AM today until 3 AM tomorrow due to event preparations and cleanup.

Six locations, including Yeouinaruro, will allow selective passage only for residents of nearby apartments and event vehicles.

Police will conduct traffic management around Yeouinaruro and other areas for pedestrian safety after the event concludes.

They plan to secure additional pedestrian walkways by restricting one lane on the lower decks of Mapo Bridge and Hangang Bridge.

Trains will pass through Yeouinaru Station non-stop for three hours from 7 PM to 10 PM, as the station is expected to experience the highest concentration of crowds.

Tomorrow, major roads in downtown Seoul will be controlled from 5:30 AM to 10:30 AM for the YTN Seoul Tour Marathon, causing traffic congestion in the area.

The course starts at Seoul Plaza, passes through Sejong-daero Intersection, Jongno, Euljiro, and Cheonggyecheon-ro, and returns to Mugyo-ro, raising expectations for downtown traffic congestion.

The Sejong-daero section (from Sejong Intersection to Heunginjimun Intersection) will be restricted from 6:30 AM to 9:15 AM, and the Sejong-daero section (from Sejong Intersection to Sungnyemun Intersection) from 6:30 AM to 8:50 AM.

The Euljiro section (from Euljiro 1-ga Intersection to Euljiro 3-ga Intersection) will be restricted from 7:40 AM to 9:10 AM, and the Cheonggyecheon-ro section from 7:45 AM to 10:30 AM.

Detailed traffic conditions can be checked through the Seoul Metropolitan Transportation Information System (TOPIS), the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency traffic information hotline (02-700-5000), the traffic information center website (www.spatic.go.kr), and KakaoTalk (Seoul Police Traffic Information).
