Street description

Between Changwon and Gimhae , Expressway 104 starts at Expressway 10 and then turns slightly south. The motorway here has 2x2 lanes and runs through a newer suburb of Busan. The highway runs along the edge of the first Nakdong Delta and then crosses a series of bridges. The highway passes Gimhae Airport near Busan. The highway crosses the Nakdong several times on the way to Busan. In Busan, Expressway 104 ends on City Expressway 22 , which then becomes the city expressway to Busan.
