Daejeon City "End of Long Delay... Yuseong Terminal to be Completed in 2025"

There is expected to be progress in the construction project of the Yuseong Complex Terminal, one of the long-standing pending projects.

Daejeon City announced on the 6th that the Yuseong Terminal construction project has passed the local finance investment review by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

Following the approval, Daejeon City plans to complete the design order for Yuseong Terminal within this year and finish constructing the terminal focused on passenger facilities by 2025.

The Yuseong Terminal will have a site area of 15,000㎡ and a total floor area of 3,455.28㎡, equipped with passenger facilities such as a waiting room, boarding and alighting areas, and offices. The temporarily operated Yuseong Intercity Bus Stop will continue its operation.

The construction of Yuseong Terminal has been promoted since 2010, but the project was delayed for a long time as the public recruitment of private operators failed four times.

Accordingly, in February, Daejeon City changed the plan to directly invest city finances to build a terminal focused on passenger facilities by 2025.

The city’s blueprint is to divide the existing terminal site, attract convention and complex cultural facilities through private sales on a 17,080㎡ support facility site besides passenger facilities, and secure a 7,067㎡ public office site in preparation for future relocation of public institutions.

Lee Jang-woo, Mayor of Daejeon, said, “With the approval of the central investment review, the completion of Yuseong Terminal by the end of 2025 is expected to gain momentum,” and added, “We will build Yuseong Terminal without any setbacks as planned at the beginning of the year to enhance citizens’ transportation convenience and serve as a catalyst for revitalizing the local economy.”
