<Anchor> On the
occasion of Chuseok on the 21st, all highways across the country were crowded all day long. The stagnation seems to be gradually resolved from late at night. Also, from tonight, there is news of rain again in the central region including the metropolitan area, so please drive safely. Connect with reporters on the spot.
Reporter Park Jae-hyun, is the car still being pushed a lot?
<Reporter>
Yes, I am now at the Anseong rest area in Gyeonggi-do.
Until just an hour ago, there were so many vehicles that the road resembled a parking lot.
It has loosened up a bit now, but cars are still not speeding up near the rest area.
The procession to return home began to gather all at once, and there was a lot of congestion throughout the day as the final procession was also covered with rain.
The congestion will gradually dissipate after 9 pm, but it is expected to be completely resolved around 1 am tomorrow.
I will explain the section that is still pushed, while watching CCTV on the road.
It is the starting point of Anseong on the Gyeongbu Expressway. Cars are taking turtle steps in the direction of Seoul.
The area around the Dangjin Interchange on the Seohaean Expressway, which had been stifling all day, is still severely congested.
Roads from Gangwon-do to Seoul are also slowing down near the metropolitan area.
If you leave Busan now, it takes 5 hours and 10 minutes to get to the Seoul tollgate.
It is expected to take 5 hours 40 minutes from Mokpo, 4 hours 10 minutes from Daegu, and 2 hours 40 minutes from Gangneung.
In order to prevent the spread of Corona, like last year, you cannot eat food inside the rest area and only take out.
It is expected to rain again in the metropolitan area and Gangwon-do from tonight.
Those who depart late at night should be careful driving in the rain.
