Geumcheon-gu gave final approval on February 23rd for the reconstruction plan (revision) of Gyeongbu Line (Line 1) Gasan Digital Complex Station, which was submitted in August last year, after consultations with internal and external organizations. Accordingly, Korea Railroad Corporation, which is in charge of the project, is preparing to start full-scale construction aiming for completion in December 2024.
The construction method involves building one new elevated station building, followed by remodeling and expanding the existing station.
The new station building's concourse area will be expanded from the current '0.42㎡/person' to '1.29㎡/person'. Facilities for transportation-vulnerable groups such as escalators and elevators for the disabled will be expanded, and passenger service spaces including restrooms will also be enlarged.
The entrances are designed to shorten passenger flow. To reduce the walking distance for Line 1 passengers accessing Line 7 Gasan Digital Complex Station, a new entrance connecting the platform directly to the ground level will be installed, which is expected to significantly reduce congestion in the connecting passage between Line 1 and Line 7.
The total project cost is approximately 34 billion KRW, with 40% funded by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and 60% by Korea Railroad Corporation.
