Replacement of Streetlights on Dongbu Ganseon-ro and Gangbyeonbuk-ro... Partial Traffic Control from the 26th

From the 26th to September 18th, Old Road Lighting Replaced with LED
Partial Lane Closure from 10 AM to 5 PM

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Some sections of car-only roads such as Dongbu Expressway and Gangbyeonbuk-ro will be partially controlled due to lighting replacement work starting from the 26th.

The Seoul Facilities Corporation announced that from the 26th to September 18th, it will carry out a project to replace old road lighting facilities with LED lights.

The sections targeted for lighting replacement are 4.8 km from Suseo Underpass to Jangji IC on Dongbu Expressway, and 2.04 km in both directions on the internal circulation ramp near Mangwon Hangang Park on Gangbyeonbuk-ro. One lane will be partially controlled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. while the replacement work is underway.

The replacement work for the Suseo Underpass section of Dongbu Expressway began on June 22 and has been completed. This time, the replacement work will proceed from Suseo Underpass toward Jamsil direction up to Jangji IC, marking the completion of this year’s LED replacement project in this section.

The Seoul Facilities Corporation will remove metal halide lights that have been installed for over 10 years and replace them with LED lights. LED lights have a long lifespan and high efficiency, reducing energy consumption and lessening eye fatigue for nighttime drivers, thereby contributing to safer driving.

The lighting replacement work is carried out manually at heights up to 5 meters above the ground, so drivers passing nearby should reduce their speed.

Seoul Facilities Corporation Director Kang Hyuk-young said, "Through LED lighting replacement, we expect to improve management efficiency and enhance safety for nighttime drivers," adding, "The corporation will continue to do its best to operate comfortable and safe car-only roads."
