The Wonidae-ro S-BRT installation project involves installing a central bus-only lane along a 9.3 km section of Wonidae-ro, from Dogye Square in Uichang-gu to Gaeumjeong Intersection in Seongsan-gu. This project aims to improve facilities to make public transportation more convenient and safe by securing the speed and punctuality of buses, with construction scheduled to be completed by March.

The current progress rate of the construction is 65%. From the end of February, full repaving of the Wonidae-ro road will be carried out. To minimize traffic congestion caused by the paving work, sufficient prior publicity will be conducted for citizens using TBN Gyeongnam Traffic Broadcasting, road electronic signboards (VMS), banners, and other means.

Deputy Mayor Jo said, “We must ensure thorough site management and traffic control to minimize inconvenience to citizens caused by the construction,” adding, “A city with well-developed public transportation is a good place to live, and S-BRT is an important project that will bring significant changes to Changwon’s public transportation. We will devote all administrative efforts to its successful establishment.”
