Expansion and Paving Construction on Four Local Roads in Northern Gyeonggi

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is advancing the detailed design for expansion and paving construction of four local roads in northern Gyeonggi, including Local Road No. 359 connecting Galhyeon to Chukhyeon in Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju.

On the 1st, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will proceed with detailed design for expansion and paving construction for four projects: Local Road No. 383 section Jingeon to Onam (Namyangju), Local Road No. 359 section Galhyeon to Chukhyeon (Paju), Local Road No. 360 section Wollong to Gwangtan (1) (Paju), and Local Road No. 368 section Sinpyeong to Simgok (Pocheon).

The Jingeon to Onam road expansion and paving project involves an investment of 104.6 billion KRW to expand and pave 4.95 km from Sinwol-ri, Jingeon-eup, Namyangju City to Onam-ri, Onam-eup into a two-lane road.

This road passes through residential areas and industrial complexes, and upon completion, it is expected to alleviate traffic inconvenience for residents and reduce driving distances, thereby lowering logistics costs for companies.

The Galhyeon to Chukhyeon road expansion and paving project will expand and pave 4.5 km from Galhyeon-ri to Chukhyeon-ri in Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju, into a four-lane road, with an investment of 54.7 billion KRW.

It is being promoted as part of the Paju LCD Industrial Complex’s metropolitan traffic improvement plan and is expected to contribute to logistics communication and balanced development among surrounding areas.

The Wollong to Gwangtan (1) road expansion and paving project will expand and pave 4.6 km from Wijeon-ri, Wollong-myeon to Bangchuk-ri, Gwangtan-myeon, Paju, into a two-lane road. The project budget is set at 106.5 billion KRW.

This route connects Jayuro, National Road No. 1, Local Road No. 78, and Local Road No. 56 along an east-west axis. It is expected to help alleviate traffic inconvenience by strengthening connectivity with the Unification Hill access road and Local Road No. 360 section (Geumchon to Wollong).

The Local Road No. 368 Sinpyeong to Simgok road expansion and paving project, with an investment of 41.9 billion KRW, will expand and pave 2.86 km from Simgok-ri to Sinpyeong-ri in Sinbuk-myeon, Pocheon, into a four-lane road.

Improved accessibility to the nearby Guri?Pocheon Expressway is expected to enhance traffic conditions.

Lee Un-ju, head of the Northern Roads Division at the Gyeonggi Provincial Construction Headquarters, stated, "The expansion and paving construction detailed designs for the four local roads will be completed by early next year, and preparations for construction will begin thereafter."
