Jeon Jin-suk's Second Pledge to Alleviate Traffic Congestion: 'Demolition of Dongun Overpass'

Gwangju Gateway Transportation Network Reorganization... Underground Connection Between Gwangju Station and Songjeong Station

Jeon Jin-suk, the Democratic Party preliminary candidate for Buk-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced her second on-site pledge to resolve regional slumization and chronic traffic congestion through a major overhaul of traffic and space in Buk-gu at Dongun Overpass.

Candidate Jeon stated, “Dongun Overpass is an old facility over 50 years old and is the cause of chronic traffic congestion in the Unam-dong area as well as the slumization of nearby regions,” adding, “To alleviate traffic congestion and revitalize the area, I will dismantle the long-awaited Dongun Overpass and promote the reorganization of Gwangju’s gateway transportation network.”

She also said, “Currently, Buk-gu’s traffic system is experiencing urban structure disruption and slumization around the railway due to the Gwangju-Songjeong Station railroad,” and continued, “By demolishing Dongun Overpass, undergrounding the railway connecting Gwangju Station and Songjeong Station, and creating a cultural complex leisure facility above it to bring about a major spatial transformation, as well as dispersing traffic and modernizing the system, we expect the quality of life for citizens to improve.”

She added, “The reorganization of the traffic system for Buk-gu’s development, the demolition of Dongun Overpass, and the undergrounding and development above the Gwangju-Songjeong Station railway are interconnected projects,” emphasizing, “Through this, we will create a new turning point for improving Gwangju’s gateway transportation system and the development of Buk-gu.”
