Pyeongtaek Ihwa~Samgye 6.27km Widening and Paving Construction to Break Ground in First Half of This Year

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The road widening and expansion construction for the section Ihwa~Samgye (Section 2) of Local Road No. 302, connecting Pyeongtaek Poseung and Cheongbuk-eup, will break ground in the first half of this year.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 4th that the 'Ihwa~Samgye Road Widening and Expansion Project,' which will newly build a 4-lane road for the 6.27 km section from Hongwon-ri, Poseung-eup to Hyeongok-ri, Cheongbuk-eup, will start construction in the first half of this year with a goal of completion in 2025. The total construction cost for this project is 119.6 billion KRW.

A provincial official explained, "Once the road widening and expansion is completed, the traffic conditions around the area, including the Yellow Sea Free Economic Zone, Hyeongok Local Industrial Complex, and Oseong Industrial Complex, will be greatly improved, shortening the distance between Poseung Industrial Complex and Godeok New Town from the existing 24 km to 18 km, a reduction of 6 km." He added, "This is expected to resolve traffic inconveniences caused by long detours, reduce transportation costs for goods, promote regional development, and contribute to national competitiveness."
