BPA, Improvement of Vehicle Access Roads on the East Side of Busan New Port Pier 1 and 2

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Port Authority completed road improvement work on the east vehicle access road of Busan New Port Pier 1 and 2 on the 25th to ensure the safe operation of vehicles using the road.

East-side vehicle access road of Busan New Port Pier 1 and 2.

The area had a highly curved road shape, and container trucks sometimes overturned at the sharp turn section when entering the pier gate, with accidents occurring more than once or twice a year.

BPA signed a business agreement in December 2022 to promote road improvement work in consultation with the Pier 1 operator (PNIT) and Pier 2 operator (PNC) and started emergency construction.

For this improvement project, BPA received advice from the specialized institution, the Road Traffic Authority, and created a superelevation by increasing the outer slope of the sharp turn road so that container trucks can drive safely.

They also repaired old road signs and installed traffic safety signs with improved visibility.

A BPA official said, “We will continuously strive to actively identify and improve risk factors that may occur during port operations to create a Busan Port where port workers and cargo truck drivers can work safely.”
