Three sections at Sancheong IC intersection closed for Sancheong Herbal Medicine Festival

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will implement traffic safety management measures to ensure the smooth progress of the ‘22nd Sancheong Herbal Medicine Festival’ held from the 30th of this month to October 10th.

The county asked tourists visiting the area to use detour roads as the Sancheong IC access road will be closed from 2 p.m. on the 19th until October 13th.

This measure is being implemented as part of traffic safety management policies for the convenience and safety of visitors.

Since this festival is the first face-to-face event in three years, it is expected that many residents and visitors will come to the festival site.

Accordingly, part of the road at the Sancheong IC intersection, the entrance to the event site, will be closed and used as the festival venue, and a temporary detour road will be operated.

For the festival site foundation and preparation work, three out of four sections of the Sancheong IC intersection road, except for one detour section, will be closed simultaneously from 2 p.m. on the 19th until October 13th.

The road closure will be managed by installing barricades and guide signs centered on the Sancheong IC intersection to support smooth traffic flow, and flashing traffic signals, a traffic safety facility, will also operate during the closure period.

The county expects heavy traffic congestion on weekends during the event days and period due to the large number of visitors.

Therefore, in addition to changing navigation traffic information, the county plans to actively promote various routes and the use of detour roads to the festival site through its website and various promotional media.

A festival official said, “With the recent lifting of social distancing and the opening of the Bammeorijae Tunnel on the 21st, many tourists are expected to visit Jirisan and the festival site,” adding, “We ask for the active cooperation and participation of residents and visitors so that the Herbal Medicine Festival can be enjoyed by everyone together.”
