Vehicle Restrictions on Banpodaero from Seocho Station to Seocho 3-dong Intersection Ahead of 'Seoripul Festival'

'No Vehicle Entry in Both Directions for Approximately 1km from 0:00 on the 16th to 4:00 on the 18th'

Seocho-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jeon Seong-su) will control traffic in both directions along a 1km section of Banpodaero from Seocho Station on Subway Line 2 to Seocho 3-dong Intersection starting from the 16th, in line with the upcoming urban music festival, 'Seoripul Festival.'

The traffic control period will be from midnight on the 16th to 4 a.m. on the 18th.

During this period, the district will conduct traffic control in cooperation with the Seocho Police Station, Seocho and Bangbae Model Drivers Association, and other local communities to ensure safe traffic flow. Approximately 480 traffic control personnel will be deployed at 24 key points.

Traffic control staff on site plan to reduce driver inconvenience by guiding detour routes. Additionally, consultations with related local governments were completed last month to temporarily reroute a total of 34 bus lines, including city and intercity buses.

The Seoripul Festival, first held in 2015, is a representative autumn festival that attracted about 860,000 visitors until 2019. It was not held from 2020 due to COVID-19 and other reasons but will be held again after four years. This year, under the theme 'Seocho is the music,' 30 cultural and artistic programs ranging from classical to jazz, K-pop, and EDM will be held across Banpodaero over two days.

A district official said, "Since traffic congestion is expected due to traffic control around Banpodaero, we ask that vehicles using this section check detour routes in advance," adding, "We also urge the public to use public transportation as much as possible and ask for active cooperation and participation from citizens."
