[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) has been finally selected as the target area for the 2021 overhead line undergrounding project in two sections: Changdong New Economic Center (from Changdong Sports Complex Intersection to Changdong Transfer Parking Lot area) and near Banghak Station on Dobong-ro (from Homeplus Banghak Branch to Sindobong Intersection).

The undergrounding project involves burying overhead lines (electric and communication lines) underground and removing utility poles.

This undergrounding project will invest a total of 7.8 billion KRW, including 5 billion KRW from national, city, and district funds, and 2.8 billion KRW from KEPCO and telecommunication companies, covering 900m in the Changdong New Economic Center and 1000m on Dobong-ro.

In particular, the Changdong New Economic Center section has been selected as a Green New Deal undergrounding project, including the commuting route to Jaun High School, and will be promoted with national funding support.

The district is sequentially promoting undergrounding projects on major roads in Dobong-gu according to mid- to long-term plans. The 1,333m section from Jeongui Girls' Middle School Entrance Intersection to Dobong Health Center Intersection on Dobong-ro is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2021, and the 1,440m section from Dobong Health Center Intersection to Banghak Intersection on Dobong-ro is scheduled to start construction in the first half of 2021.

A district official said, “We plan to continuously promote overhead line undergrounding projects in the future, expecting the streets to be cleanly improved through the undergrounding project, and road excavation will be conducted at night to minimize inconvenience to residents.”
