The closure of the Gate 4 will allow the city to make improvements on the Korean-American Friendship Street more quickly and safely, reducing the length of the disruption and traffic congestion.Vehicles are regulated at Gate 4, but the Gate 4 pedestrian gate is open 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week during this time frame. Alternatively, Gate 6 is open 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week during this time.

"This is a plan to establish a new model of regional development where environment and culture can coexist."The rebuilding of Korean-American Friendship Street began on March 24. The street will be transformed into a unique street with the pedestrian-centered environment. The backstreets that gave negative impressions will be transformed into bright and characteristic cultural and theme streets. This will become a cultural space providing energetic communication for U.S. Soldiers, local residents and visitors as well as a central hub revitalizing the surrounding commercial areas.Korean-American Friendship Street will build up close bonds between local residents and U.S. Army in Daegu and lay as a passage to live harmoniously.
