Traffic System Changes at Wawa Intersection in Nam-gu, Ulsan

Samho-ro to Namsan-ro Road Straightening Conversion Work

The traffic system around Wawa Intersection in Nam-gu, Ulsan will be changed.

Ulsan City announced on the 3rd that it will implement a traffic system transition on the 5th, straightening the main road from Samho-ro to Namsan-ro as part of the Wawa Intersection traffic system improvement project that has been underway since October last year.

This project is being promoted to restore the main road function of Namsan-ro, which has significantly higher traffic volume compared to Samho-ro, and to alleviate citizen inconvenience by adding left-turn and U-turn lanes from Samho-ro to Namsan-ro.

The construction will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on that day to minimize citizen inconvenience, and polyethylene blocks, a temporary facility, will be installed and operated for about a month to adjust the shape of the intersection.

Subsequently, the project will be finalized through remaining works for intersection operation, including installation of traffic islands, lane and crosswalk adjustments, and installation of various traffic safety and road accessory facilities.

An official from Ulsan City stated, “Once the project is completed, the straightening of the Namsan-ro section at Wawa Intersection is expected to facilitate smooth traffic flow and improve the pedestrian environment,” adding, “We plan to proceed with the construction swiftly, but we ask for citizens’ understanding regarding some traffic congestion during the construction period.”
