Yongin 'Pyeongchang Sageori~Yangji IC' 3.1km Section Expanded to 6 Lanes

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The section connecting Pyeongchang Intersection and Yangji IC in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province will be expanded from four lanes to six lanes.

Yongin City, Gyeonggi Province announced on the 29th that the road expansion project for the 3.1 km section of National Road No. 17 from Pyeongchang Intersection in Yangji-myeon, Cheoin-gu to Yangji IC has been included in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's 5th National and Local Road Construction Plan (2021?2025).

Accordingly, the Suwon Regional Land Management Office of the Seoul Regional Land Management Office, which manages the road, will invest 39.9 billion KRW of national funds to start the expansion work to widen the section from four lanes to six lanes by 2025.

This road is where National Road No. 42 and National Road No. 17 intersect, and due to vehicles entering and exiting Yangji IC, it experiences frequent congestion during commuting hours and weekends.

To solve this problem, Yongin City, together with the Suwon Regional Land Management Office, visited central government agencies and the National Assembly several times to request the inclusion of the National Road No. 17 expansion project in the 5th National and Local Road 5-Year Plan.

Baek Gun-gi, mayor of Yongin City, emphasized, "The expansion of National Road No. 17 is expected to help alleviate local traffic congestion and improve accessibility to the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster," adding, "We will build transportation infrastructure befitting Yongin, a city with excellent connectivity."
