Taeyoung Construction formed a consortium with DL E&C (15%) and others, holding a 45% stake, and participated in the price bid, being selected as the qualified bidder for detailed design.

The Taeyoung Construction consortium focused its design on △future planning and optimal transfer design for 201 stations △improving safety of terminal facilities △changing tunnel stations to enhance constructability, safety, and address civil complaints.

In particular, the wiring plan reflecting the planned GTX-C Deokjeong connection line and right-hand traffic throughout the entire section ensures train operation safety. The vertical circulation plan applying high-speed elevators secures accessibility and safety. Through this, the travel time based on the basic plan (4 escalator rides) was reduced from 131 seconds to 77 seconds by using 2 escalator rides and 1 high-speed elevator ride.

This project involves constructing a metropolitan railroad with a total length of 4,930.4 meters (including 4,756.4 meters of tunnel, 1 station, and 4 mainline ventilation shafts) connecting Goeup-dong and Yuljeong-dong in Yangju-si, Gyeonggi-do. The construction period is 1,980 days from the start of construction.
