This traffic restriction is an unavoidable measure to carry out defect repair work due to damage to the snow-melting pavement at the exit of the Opocheon Tollgate (TG). The closure will remain in effect for the entire 10-hour period from the start to the end of the construction.

To minimize inconvenience for expressway users during the construction, Korea Expressway Corporation plans to provide real-time updates on traffic conditions and detour information through Korea Transportation Broadcasting (TBN), EX-Traffic Broadcasting, variable message signs (VMS), and expressway traffic information apps.

Drivers are advised that the Opocheon IC exit will not be accessible and are requested to use nearby interchanges such as the Gwangnam Interchange or the Bukyongin Interchange as detour routes.

A representative from Korea Expressway Corporation stated, "We anticipate some inconvenience for customers due to the construction, but in the long term, driving comfort and safety will be greatly improved. Please drive slowly in the construction section and check traffic conditions before departure to use the detour routes."
