Some roads in Seoul will be closed at designated times on Wednesday due to the inauguration ceremony of Korea’s 21st president at the National Assembly, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on Tuesday.
In the morning, certain sections of Hyeonchung-ro and Nodeul-ro in central Seoul will be closed to traffic. In the afternoon, parts of Gukhoe-daero in western Seoul will be restricted.
The agency said 535 officers will be deployed to manage traffic and minimize disruptions.
Real-time traffic updates will be provided via roadside electronic signboards and traffic radio broadcasts.
Police advised drivers to check the road closures in advance and take alternative routes if travel is unavoidable.
