(KPL/Yonhap) Roads near the Constitutional Court in central Seoul will be closed Friday as the court delivers its ruling on President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment, with massive rallies expected both in support of and against him, police said Tuesday.

The Constitutional Court earlier announced that it will deliver its ruling on Yoon's impeachment at 11 a.m. Friday, nearly four months after Yoon was impeached by the National Assembly on charges of violating the Constitution and laws through his brief imposition of martial law on Dec. 3.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to gather near the Constitutional Court, as well as in nearby areas, including Sejongdaero, Euljiro and Sajikro, on the day of the ruling, according to the police.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency plans to deploy 810 personnel for traffic control and to minimize public inconvenience, it added.

Police advised the public to use public transportation or get updates on the latest traffic information in the event they use their own vehicles.

Police have partially closed roads connected to a junction near the Constitutional Court after it announced the date for Yoon's ruling earlier in the day.
