Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) has renovated the Shinimun Station underpass connection passage, which had a dark and deteriorated image, into a bright and pleasant space.

The Shinimun Station underpass connection passage, originally called ‘Imun Tokkigul’ by local residents, is a box-shaped underground passage that has long served as a connecting route for residents centered around Shinimun Station.

In response to residents’ requests to improve the aging and poor conditions of the ‘Shinimun Station Underpass Connection Passage,’ the district carried out comprehensive maintenance activities, including repairing the aging infrastructure around the passage.

In particular, the passage floor, which had a steep slope causing frequent falls among residents, was repaired; the ceiling and walls corroded due to water leakage from the station were restored; and old handrail railings were replaced to create a bright and clean environment.

Additionally, the aging sidewalk blocks around the connection passage were replaced and maintained to promote a comfortable walking environment.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, “The Shinimun Station underpass connection passage is a connecting space that holds the footprints of Imun-dong residents, so we will ensure there are no inconveniences in its use through continuous maintenance.” He added, “We will continue to lead the creation of a safe and pleasant environment for residents, making Dongdaemun-gu a place that opens happiness.”
