Road Development Around Euncheon-ro 24-gil, Gwanak-gu

A Total of 11 Billion KRW Invested, 3 Cross-Shaped Road Sections with Widths of 5-6m and Lengths of 220m Each to Be Developed... Roads Accessible to Fire Trucks to Ensure Disaster Safety for Nearby Residents... Improved Convenience for Vehicles and Pedestrians by Connecting Disconnected Roads

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) is making every effort to promote the road construction project around Euncheon-ro 24-gil (Jungang-dong 459).

The area is densely populated with houses, making it vulnerable to disasters such as fires, and the narrow road width made it difficult for fire trucks and other rescue vehicles to enter.

Additionally, the road disconnection caused significant inconvenience to the traffic conditions of nearby residents.

Accordingly, the district promoted the road construction project by designating the Euncheon-ro 24-gil area as an urban planning facility (road) from 2004 to 2006, but the designation was canceled as the project site was designated as a housing reconstruction maintenance area.

However, in April 2013, the designation of the housing reconstruction maintenance area was lifted through residents' consent, and in 2014, complaints for re-promotion of the road construction project were raised.

Although the project was continuously postponed due to financial conditions, after the launch of the 7th local government administration, the project got on track and officially started at the end of 2018.

This project aims to secure residents' safety and improve traffic inconvenience by opening a cross-shaped road spanning three sections with a width of 5 to 6 meters and a length of 220 meters, securing 8 billion KRW from the district budget and an additional 3 billion KRW from the city budget.

As of February 2021, all residents subject to demolition have relocated, and over 95% of land and property compensation has been completed. Construction began in March and is expected to be completed by June.

Once the road is opened and a 6-meter road width is secured, it will be easier for fire trucks and other rescue vehicles to enter, greatly contributing to the improvement of traffic conditions for nearby residents.

Mayor Park Junhee said, “I hope that the road construction around Euncheon-ro 24-gil, a long-cherished project of Jungang-dong residents, will greatly help secure residents' safety and improve the traffic environment,” adding, “We will continue to listen to residents' voices and actively promote resident-centered policies to improve the quality of life for residents.”
