Eunpyeong-gu (District Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) announced that it will carry out construction to expand and improve Eunpyeong Tunnel Road as part of the redevelopment project within the Susaek 6, 7, and 8 redevelopment promotion zones.

The Susaek 6, 7, and 8 district redevelopment association plans to expand a 450m section of Eunpyeong Tunnel Road and perform embankment work.

The construction will proceed in three phases. Phase 1 involves demolishing some buildings within the Susaek 8 district to open a 250m-long, two-lane bidirectional detour road.

In Phase 2, the main construction, Eunpyeong Tunnel Road will be fully closed to expand one lane of the road and carry out embankment work to raise the ground level by up to 3.49m. Due to the raised ground level, some sections of the road connecting Eunpyeong Tunnel Road to Susaek Church Road will also be reconstructed.

Phase 3 will involve connection work on a section of Eunpyeong Tunnel-ro 2-gil, linking Eunpyeong Tunnel Road to the Susaek 6 and 8 districts.

As a result of this construction, Eunpyeong Tunnel Road will be expanded from the existing 15m-wide two-lane bidirectional road to a 21m-wide three-lane bidirectional road with one lane added.

The construction will take a total of seven months: one month for detour road opening, five months for Eunpyeong Tunnel Road expansion and embankment work, and one month for connection road construction. As of April, the detour road opening work is underway, and full-scale expansion construction is scheduled to begin in early May.

Eunpyeong-gu will minimize traffic inconvenience during the construction period by cooperating with the local police station and related agencies to deploy traffic controllers, relocate bus stops, and provide traffic block guidance through media and other measures.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “This construction is expected to contribute to dispersing traffic volume and alleviating congestion in the Susaek and Jeungsan redevelopment promotion districts. It will also greatly help improve the satisfaction of residents using the road. Since the construction period is not short, there may be inconveniences related to traffic, so we ask for the special understanding and participation of the residents.”
