This project has been described as a long-standing wish that Seocho-gu has been striving to resolve severe traffic congestion and east-west division.

It also stated, "The ‘Gyeongbu Expressway Undergrounding’ began as a proposal by former Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Joe during the 6th and 7th local government terms (currently a member of the National Assembly for Seocho-gap of the People Power Party) and was publicized through independent research projects, expert symposiums, and citizen hearings." It added, "In particular, Mayor Oh Se-hoon’s recent suggestion of leisure facilities and green spaces for residents in the upper space of the Gyeongbu Expressway is very encouraging as it adds momentum to the project’s promotion."

Furthermore, Seocho-gu pledged, "We will actively cooperate with the Seoul Metropolitan Government going forward, gather various residents’ opinions to alleviate traffic congestion through the undergrounding of the Gyeongbu Expressway, and create citizen leisure and green spaces on the surface, and deliver them to Seoul City, mobilizing all administrative power at the district level."
