3 Transfer adjustments due to suspension of traffic

For passengers who temporarily flow out of the Expressway due to suspension of traffic, bypass the closed section, re-enter and transfer in the forward direction, we carry out "transit adjustment" to adjust the toll according to the section used. I will.

4 Construction overview

Signboard replacement work will be carried out to number the signboards on the outer ring road and Bijogi JCT. Since it is not possible to carry out the work under normal lane regulations, it is necessary to carry out the work by blocking the main line and closing the ramp. Therefore, in order to avoid inconvenience to our customers as much as possible, we will close the main line and close the lamps during the night of weekdays when traffic is light, and carry out the work intensively and efficiently. This work is necessary for safe and comfortable use of the Expressway so we ask for your understanding and cooperation.
