Today (22nd), the day of the Lunar New Year, highway congestion is expected all day due to not only homecoming, but also early return, visit to the grave, and outing vehicles.
The Korea Expressway Corporation announced today that the expected traffic volume nationwide is 6.12 million, and the largest number of vehicles during the holiday are expected to use the highway.
The Korea Expressway Corporation predicted that the return road to Seoul would start at 9:00 am and reach its peak between 3:00 and 4:00 pm, and be resolved at 2:00 am the day after tomorrow.
On the opposite way home, cars heading home belatedly rushed from 6:00 a.m., causing the most severe congestion between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m.
