The roads in question are the Pallyong Tunnel connecting Yangdeok Intersection in Yangdeok-dong, Masanhwoaegu, and Pyeongsan Intersection in Pallyong-dong, Uichang-gu, as well as the Jigae-Namsan connecting road linking National Road 79 in Jigaeri, Buk-myeon, Uichang-gu, and National Road 25 in Namsan-ri, Dong-eup.

The toll exemption period is from 0:00 on the 28th, the day before Chuseok, until 24:00 on October 1, a total of four days. All vehicles using the roads during this time will be eligible for free toll benefits.

Drivers can pass through the toll booths slowly without distinguishing between Hi-Pass lanes and general lanes.

The city expects approximately 49,000 vehicles to use the Pallyong Tunnel and about 54,000 vehicles to use the Jigae-Namsan connecting road during the four-day holiday period benefiting from the free tolls, and the city will fully cover the expected toll fees as a benefit to users.

Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City, said, “Following the toll exemption during last Lunar New Year, exempting tolls on paid roads during the Chuseok holiday will reduce the transportation costs for visitors returning to their hometowns and help alleviate traffic congestion during the holiday period, thereby reducing social costs.”
