Traffic Control Measures to
Minimize Citizens’ Inconvenience

Controlling Vehicle Flows and Pedestrian Traffic during Construction

Partial road closure to minimize traffic congestion

  • West road of the Square (southbound lanes) : Maintain current lanes (6 lanes)
  • East road of the square (northbound lanes) : Partial road closure from current 5-6 lanes to 4-5 lanes.
    (1 lane will be closed)

Minimize Restriction on Citizens using the Square

Secure a temporary pedestrian passage and place safety personnel

  • Long-term Occupation : Use a part of the North Square to store materials (approximately 800㎡)
  • A part of square is incorporated into the road section (a part of the current East Square)

The closure of southbound lanes (the west side of the square)
will be determined based on the circumstances of traffic flows in the future

동측도록 상하차로 소통, 서측차로 폐쇄

Expansion and reorganization of northbound lanesNorthbound and southbound lanes will be opened during construction

Controlling Vehicle Flows and Pedestrian Traffic during Construction

Establish a variety of policies that can maintain current level of traffic volume around Sejong-daero and Gwanghwamun Square
