[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City is promoting the establishment of Sikjangsan Station (tentative name) on Daejeon Urban Railway Line 1.

According to the city on the 14th, the construction of Sikjangsan Station will begin design work in the second half of next year, aiming for opening in 2025.

Sikjangsan Station is planned to be newly established by utilizing the storage track within the Panam train depot on Urban Railway Line 1, with a total project cost of 15 billion KRW.

The city expects that with the establishment of Sikjangsan Station, the travel distance from Panam Station to Sikjangsan Samgeori will be reduced from 2,900 meters to 450 meters, and walking time will be shortened from 47 minutes to 7 minutes, a reduction of 40 minutes.

In particular, the city anticipates a synergy effect in revitalizing tourism in the area as Sikjangsan Station will connect the Daejeon~Okcheon Metropolitan Railway Secheon Station with Sikjangsan and Daecheongho Lake.

Lee Jang-woo, Mayor of Daejeon, said, “The establishment of Sikjangsan Station is one of the 100 core tasks of the 8th elected administration (balanced city sector), and we will make every effort to prepare for its completion by 2025 to enhance citizens' convenience in using the urban railway.”
