Relief of Road Gradient at Singil Underpass

Total Project Cost of 3.6 Billion Won Invested: Upper Interchange Integration to be Completed by Next Year... Traffic Environment Survey, Traffic Demand Forecast, and Road Optimization Plan Established

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Yeongdeungpo-gu (District Mayor Chae Hyun-il) is investing 3.6 billion KRW to improve the road structure and traffic system by renovating the intersection above Singil Underpass by 2021, including lowering the road slope, to ensure residents' safety.

The area above Singil Underpass had a flat intersection and a roundabout adjacent to each other, causing overlapping vehicle paths and increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, the end of Singil Underpass had a steep slope, making it difficult for drivers to secure forward visibility.

Accordingly, the district is conducting basic and detailed design services by September this year, and based on the results, plans to complete construction by 2021 to provide a safe traffic environment for residents.

First, as a measure to improve Singil Underpass, the district will integrate the flat intersection and roundabout into one to prevent collision risks between vehicles. The steep longitudinal slope of the underpass will be reduced by about 2 meters at the road surface, and the road will be made gentler to improve drivers' visibility.

Before starting full-scale construction, the district will thoroughly analyze △current status of obstacles and drainage facilities △traffic environment survey △review of related traffic plans △future traffic demand forecasts △road optimization plans during the design service.

In particular, the Singil New Town area, including Singil Underpass, is expected to face traffic congestion due to future residents, so the district will also establish improvement plans such as signal system upgrades and adjacent lane expansions.

Based on this, the district plans to complete all traffic improvement works around Singil Underpass by 2021 and provide residents with a safe traffic environment.

On the 11th, Yeongdeungpo District Mayor Chae Hyun-il visited the intersection above Singil Underpass with Singil-dong residents and collected their opinions on traffic improvement plans on site.

Yeongdeungpo District Mayor Chae Hyun-il stated, “We will improve the traffic system including the renovation of Singil Underpass intersection by next year,” and added, “We will create a clear and safe Yeongdeungpo by establishing a safe traffic environment.”
