The expansion construction of Local Road No. 387, Namyangju 'Hwado~Unsu' section, which had been suspended since 2011 due to lack of project funds, will resume on the 26th.

The 'Hwado~Unsu' section of Local Road No. 387 is a project with a total budget of 168.7 billion KRW, expanding 4.52 km from two lanes to four lanes, from Gagok-ri (Neogunaegogae) in Hwado-eup, Namyangju City to Unsu-ri (Unsu Intersection) in Sudong-myeon. The completion is scheduled for the second half of 2029.

This section has been a habitual congestion area. The project started in 2008 and the design was completed in 2011, but no significant progress was made afterward due to lack of funds. Although the project was decided to be re-pursued in 2016 after a feasibility review, it was delayed again due to insufficient compensation funds.

Meanwhile, in September last year, Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon visited the project site and met with local representatives, stating, "The Hwado~Unsu road is the highest priority in northern Gyeonggi and a road that local residents need, so I will pay attention to it," and promised, "We will secure project funds and strive to start construction in the first half of next year."

Since then, Gyeonggi Province began preparatory work for project promotion, such as requesting the Public Procurement Service to contract civil engineering work in November last year.

Kim Gyo-heung, head of the Construction Headquarters of Gyeonggi Province, expressed expectations, saying, "Once the construction is completed, it will resolve a long-standing demand of residents, improve local traffic conditions, and contribute to balanced development in northern Gyeonggi," and added, "It will greatly help improve habitual congestion and traffic difficulties during weekday commutes and weekend outings."
