Yeosu City in South Jeolla Province announced on September 17 that it conducted an on-site inspection on September 16 of the main entrance roads to the expo site and key sections near the event venue to prepare traffic measures for the successful hosting of the 2026 Yeosu World Island Expo.

The inspection was attended by 15 people, including the head of the Island Expo Support Team, city officials, and representatives from the Yeosu Police Station and the Korea Road Traffic Authority. The group surveyed the area from the entrance of the expressway, passing through Haesan Interchange, to the Jinmo District event site.

The inspection team directly identified potential congestion points and traffic safety vulnerabilities along the main routes leading to the expo site and discussed solutions to address them. To ensure smooth movement for visitors, the team focused on checking locations for the installation and maintenance of new variable message signs (VMS), sections for the installation of detour and expo venue guide signs, and areas near the main event venue where traffic signs need maintenance.

Based on the results of this inspection, the city plans to actively collaborate with relevant agencies to install and maintain traffic convenience facilities. In particular, the city will continue route-by-route and section-by-section on-site inspections during the preparation of temporary parking lots and shuttle bus operations, aiming to minimize traffic congestion factors and enhance safety.

A city official emphasized, "Given the nature of this international event, which will attract many visitors, traffic measures are a key factor for a successful expo," adding, "We will continue to work closely with relevant agencies to thoroughly prepare convenience measures such as temporary parking lots, shuttle buses, and traffic guidance facilities."
