The Security and Safety Control Team, under the Presidential Security Service, will close lanes on Sowol-ro, the primary road used by visiting leaders' motorcades, six to seven times between noon and 9 p.m. Additionally, traffic in some lanes around Euljiro 1-ga, near the summit venue, will be restricted before and after the event.
