Nowon District Mayor Oh Seung-rok Attends Escalator Opening Ceremony at Nowon Station Exit 9

On the 26th at 2 PM, Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon District, attended the opening ceremony of the elevator (E/L) and escalator (E/S) at Exit 9 of Nowon Station (across from the Culture Street) held in the second-floor concourse of Nowon Station in Seoul.

The construction of the elevator and escalator at Exit 9 of Nowon Station began in June 2021 and was completed on this day.

The project included the installation of one 21-passenger elevator connecting Basement Level 1 to the 3rd-floor platform, and four 1200-type escalators connecting the 1st floor ground level to the 2nd-floor concourse (both up and down), as well as the 2nd-floor concourse to the 3rd-floor platform (both up and down).

Currently, Nowon District has 17 subway stations, and installation of vertical transportation facilities is underway at eight access points.

To replace six aging escalators installed in the transfer passage connecting Lines 4 and 7 within Nowon Station, the transfer passage will be completely closed for about nine months until September next year.

The opening ceremony was held with the attendance of Mayor Oh Seung-rok, city council members, and related officials, proceeding with guest introductions, progress reports, and a commemorative ribbon-cutting.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok of Nowon District expressed his gratitude to the officials who worked hard to successfully complete the renovation of the aging elevators and escalators at Nowon Station, and said, "Although inconvenience to citizens is expected due to the closure of the transfer passage, we ask for understanding and cooperation for safer and more convenient subway use."
