Daejeon City "Full Vehicle Ban on Jungang-ro Area Starting from the 9th"

From the 9th, vehicle traffic in the Jungang-ro area will be completely restricted.

Daejeon City announced on the 7th that, to prepare for the ‘Daejeon 0si Festival,’ vehicle traffic on Jungang-ro from Daejeon Station to the former Chungnam Provincial Office section and parts of Daejong-ro will be fully restricted starting from 5 a.m. on the 9th.

The festival will be held from the 11th to the 17th of this month. Prior to this, Daejeon City will operate a car-free street within the event area to install necessary facilities and ensure safety at the venue.

Due to the full traffic restriction, 28 city bus routes passing through the Jungang-ro area will have to detour via Daeheung-ro, Uam-ro, and other roads from 5 a.m. on the 9th until 5 a.m. on the 18th.

Detour routes and temporary bus stops will be announced through the Daejeon Transportation Information Center and the ‘Daejeon 0si Festival’ website.

Instead of vehicle traffic, Daejeon City plans to extend subway operating hours and increase the number of runs during the festival period starting from the 11th.

First, the last subway train times at Jungang-ro Station will be delayed to 1 a.m. for the Banseok-bound train and 1:12 a.m. for the Panam-bound train. Additionally, the number of subway runs will increase to 268 on weekdays (26 additional runs) and 246 on holidays (28 additional runs).

Daejeon City has secured outer parking lots for festival visitors and citizens who find subway use difficult, and arranged transportation options including shuttle buses connecting the subway and the event venue.

The outer parking lots, totaling 17,000 spaces, are located at 12 local universities such as Chungnam National University, Hanbat National University, Mokwon University, and public facilities near subway stations like the World Cup Stadium. Among these, 11,801 parking spaces will be available free of charge.

Daejeon City will provide guidance on the nearest subway stations for each outer parking lot and operate four shuttle bus routes from some parking lots to facilitate access to the event venue. Information on parking and shuttle bus usage can be found on the ‘Daejeon 0si Festival’ website.

Ko Hyun-deok, Director of the Transportation and Construction Bureau of Daejeon City, said, “If you pass through the traffic control zones, you must check bus routes and detour roads in advance. Daejeon City will do its best to minimize inconvenience to citizens caused by the festival and ensure smooth vehicle flow by mobilizing all available resources and administrative power.”
