The Korea Expressway Corporation says more than five-point-eight million cars are expected to be on the move on north and southbound lanes, marking the highest daily volume of traffic in Korean history. The congestion will be the heaviest around 4:00-5:00 PM KST, and continue to be busy through Thursday morning. A trip from Busan to Seoul will roughly take 8 hours.

He added that President Trump had guided Tillerson and himself to pursue diplomatic efforts, including initiatives from China, and that Tillerson's Chinese trip last week showed that "integrated effort."
