On September 21, Gyeonggi Province announced that the free toll policy was implemented to provide convenience for residents visiting their hometowns or ancestral graves, and to boost the local economy by encouraging visits to major tourist attractions in the province.

The tolls that will be waived during this period are 1,200 won for Il-san Bridge, 2,600 won for the Third Gyeongin Expressway (main line), and 1,000 won for the Seosuwon-Uiwang Expressway, based on passenger cars.

The usage method remains the same as usual: vehicles with Hi-Pass devices should use the Hi-Pass lane, while regular vehicles can simply pass through the toll booth.

Gyeonggi Province expects approximately 1.78 million vehicles to use these expressways during the free toll period for the Chuseok holiday, including 550,000 vehicles on the Seosuwon-Uiwang Expressway, 940,000 on the Third Gyeongin Expressway, and 290,000 on Il-san Bridge.

Gyeonggi Province first implemented the toll exemption policy during the Lunar New Year in 2017. The policy was suspended from Lunar New Year 2020 in line with the nationwide "social distancing" measures due to the spread of COVID-19, but it has been reinstated since Chuseok in 2022.

Kang Seongsup, Director of Construction at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We are implementing free tolls on privately operated expressways managed by the province during the Chuseok holiday period to provide convenience for homecoming travelers and tourists," adding, "We hope all residents have a warm and comfortable Chuseok holiday."
