Yongin City Inspects 'Noise' and Other Issues at Cheoin Highway Construction Site

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will intensively inspect two highway construction sites, including the Cheoin-gu Seoul~Sejong route, starting from the 25th.

This is in response to the rapid increase in complaints from residents experiencing inconvenience due to blasting and other activities at the highway construction sites.

In Cheoin-gu, construction is underway on the Seoul~Sejong highway, which includes 9 tunnels, 2 ICs, and 2 JCTs, as well as the Icheon~Osan highway, which includes 6 tunnels, 2 ICs, and 1 JCT.

Yongin City will focus its inspection on 20 sections where blasting sites and numerous complaints have been reported, checking whether prior explanations to residents have been conducted and monitoring crack and noise measurements.

The city plans to demand prompt action from project implementers and construction companies regarding any resident inconveniences identified during the inspection, and if any regulations are violated, administrative measures will be requested from the responsible agencies.

A city official explained, "Complaints of inconvenience continue as two highway construction projects are simultaneously underway in the Cheoin-gu area. This inspection aims to prevent resident damage, and we will closely cooperate with construction companies to ensure no further harm occurs."

Meanwhile, the Yongin City section of the Seoul~Sejong highway, which has a total length of 129 km, is 26 km long, and the Yongin City section of the Icheon~Osan highway, which has a total length of 31.2 km, is 15.2 km long. Both are scheduled to open in 2022.
