Opening of Yongin South Jinwi Interchange on Gyeongbu Expressway on the 3rd

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] The Namsajinwi Interchange on the Gyeongbu Expressway, located in Namsa-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, will officially open at 2 p.m. on the 3rd.

Yongin City explained that with the opening of the Namsajinwi Interchange, residents of Namsa-eup and residents of Jinwi and Seotan-myeon in Pyeongtaek can enter the expressway towards Busan and Seoul directions without passing through the Osan Interchange.

The Namsajinwi Interchange is located between the Anseong Junction and the Osan Interchange on the Gyeongbu Expressway. As part of the Hwaseong Dongtan New Town metropolitan traffic improvement plan, a total of 61 billion KRW was invested, and construction began in 2018.

An official from the city stated, "We expect that dispersing the traffic volume from the Osan Interchange will reduce congestion in the section of the Gyeongbu Expressway southbound from Giheung Interchange to Anseong Junction, which is a habitual congestion zone," and added, "We will continue to consult with related agencies to additionally install an entrance towards Seoul and an exit towards Busan in the future."

Earlier, in March, the city jointly submitted a proposal with Pyeongtaek City to Korea Expressway Corporation to enable two-way entry and exit at the Namsajinwi Interchange.
