[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] On the 19th, Incheon City announced that it will proceed with a preliminary feasibility study for the extension project of Incheon Subway Line 2 to Goyang, which was included in the '4th National Railroad Network Construction Plan' last July.

On the same day, the city held a kickoff briefing at City Hall with officials from related local governments including Gyeonggi Province, Gimpo City, and Goyang City to discuss the project promotion plan.

The Incheon Line 2 Goyang extension, with a project cost of 1.7502 trillion KRW, will span 18.5 km from Dokjeong Station on Incheon Line 2 to Bullo District, Gimpo Light Rail Geolpobukbyeon Station, KINTEX, Gyeongui-Jungang Line Ilsan Station, and Jungsan District, featuring 11 stations and one train depot.

Once this line opens, the city expects it to dramatically improve transportation in the western metropolitan area and significantly enhance Seoul accessibility by enabling transfers to the GTX (Greater Seoul Metropolitan Express Railroad) Line A.

Incheon City and the three local governments plan to prepare the optimal alternative through this preliminary feasibility study and apply for the project as a preliminary feasibility study target through the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to the Ministry of Economy and Finance in the second half of this year.
