Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, Inspects Gwangwoon University Station Overpass Repair and Reinforcement Site

On June 22, Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon District, inspected the repair and remodeling site of the Gwangwoon University Station overpass.

The Gwangwoon University Station overpass, completed in 1989, undergoes annual safety inspections; however, complaints from residents have continued due to aging facilities. In response, the district is currently carrying out work to partially demolish the existing deteriorated concrete railing walls and install a new canopy to eliminate residents' concerns and ensure safe and convenient passage.

The concrete railing wall construction is scheduled from September to November 2024, and the canopy installation work will take place from November 2024 to March 2025. The canopy installation is funded as a public contribution by Hyundai Development Company, the developer of the Gwangwoon University Station area development project.

To minimize inconvenience to residents caused by the overpass repair and remodeling work, the district held residents' briefings on June 13 and June 19 to explain the construction plans and listen to residents' opinions. Additionally, banners were installed and over 10,000 leaflets were distributed to inform residents living near Gwangwoon University Station about the construction details.

Mayor Oh Seung-rok stated, "We are improving the aging facilities of the Gwangwoon University Station overpass to ensure the safety of residents' pedestrian traffic," adding, "We will carefully manage the construction to minimize residents' inconvenience, such as noise, during the construction period."
