Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) has expressed a strong commitment to actively participate in the Gyeongbu Line (Seoul Station to Dangjeong Station) underground project.

On the 20th, Moon Heon-il, Mayor of Guro-gu, attended the meeting of local government heads at Gunpo City Hall for the Gyeongbu Line underground project promotion council and signed the "Joint Proposal for the Selection of the Gyeongbu Line (Seoul Station to Dangjeong Station) Underground Pilot Project."

The proposal adopted that day urged the selection of the Gyeongbu Line (Seoul Station to Dangjeong Station) section as a pilot project to prioritize the establishment of a comprehensive plan following the enactment of the "Special Act on Railway Undergrounding and Integrated Development of Railway Sites," as well as the undergrounding of railways by metropolitan area and the priority development of the upper space.

In Guro-gu, Sindorim Station and Guro Station are included in the relevant section.

Mayor Moon Heon-il said in his greeting, "Guro-gu is divided north-south and east-west due to the Gyeongbu Line and Gyeongin Line railways crossing the center of the district," adding, "Because of this, there are many difficulties in establishing balanced development and interconnected urban planning between regions."

He continued, "The railway underground project will play an important role in various aspects such as resolving residents' inconveniences, improving the urban environment, enhancing safety, and economic benefits," emphasizing, "By developing the above-ground space according to the characteristics of each region, it is an opportunity to revitalize the local economy, improve transportation convenience, and lead the development and transformation of the city."

Meanwhile, the Gyeongbu Line underground project promotion council was launched in May 2012 following the signing of the "Memorandum of Understanding for the Joint Promotion of the Gyeongbu Line (National Railroad Line 1) Undergrounding," with participation from seven cities and districts including Guro-gu, Yongsan-gu, Dongjak-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Geumcheon-gu, Anyang-si, and Gunpo-si.
