Jungnang IC Connection Road to Open on 25th... Expected to Relieve Chronic Congestion at Sinnae IC

Using the Jungnang IC connection from Yangwon District, Sinnae-dong, and Mangu-dong shortens travel time by 20 minutes... Traffic volume at Sinnae IC expected to be dispersed and inconvenience eased upon connection opening

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] To reduce the inconvenience of detouring at Sinnae IC and to improve accessibility for direct entry to the Northern Arterial Road from Yangwon District, Sinnae-dong, and Mangwoo-dong, the Jungnang IC connecting ramp will open on the 25th.

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) announced that it has constructed a connecting ramp around Mangwoo-dong 34, near Jungnang IC. Until now, entering the Northern Arterial Road required detouring through Sinnae IC, causing inconvenience, and due to the development of large-scale residential complexes such as Yangwon District, it was necessary to disperse the increasing traffic volume.

Vehicles entering the Northern Arterial Road from Yangwon District will save more than 20 minutes by using the Jungnang IC connecting ramp compared to using the existing Sinnae IC.

Since continuous move-ins are scheduled in the surrounding Yangwon District until 2023, traffic volume is expected to keep increasing, but the district anticipates that the new access road will disperse the traffic concentrated at Sinnae IC, thereby alleviating traffic inconvenience.

The project was not without difficulties. The project was delayed due to opposition from several related agencies, but since 2018, the district was able to lead this connecting ramp project through multiple negotiations and persuasion.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “It is very meaningful to open the low-cost, high-efficiency Jungnang IC connecting ramp that can solve the traffic problems at Sinnae IC,” and added, “We will continue to spare no effort to improve transportation convenience for local residents.”

The Jungnang IC connecting ramp was constructed with a total length of 105 meters and a width of 8 meters, with a total project cost of 600 million KRW.
