Yeongdeungpo Rotary Overpass 'Demolition' ... Scheduled to be Completed by the End of April

Choi Ho-gwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, visited the site of the 'Yeongdeungpo Rotary Overpass Demolition' on October 25 to inspect the progress of the construction.

The demolition of the Yeongdeungpo Rotary Overpass will officially begin on the night of October 25 at 11 PM, with vehicle access being restricted. The demolition is scheduled to continue until the end of April 2025. After completion, by June 2026, the existing complex six-way intersection will be simplified into a five-way flat intersection. The district plans to shed its reputation as a high-accident traffic area.

Additionally, during the construction period, the district will establish the 'Yeongdeungpo Rainwater Pump Station' on the land adjacent to the rotary, and install a 'rainwater inflow pipeline' beneath the rotary to prevent flooding damage around Yeongdeungpo Station, thereby enhancing the safety of residents.

Choi Ho-gwon, Mayor of Yeongdeungpo District, stated, “We have accelerated the long-awaited project of demolishing the Yeongdeungpo Rotary Overpass for the safety of our residents. We expect this project to bring two benefits: preventing traffic accidents and flood damage.” He added, “We will do our best to minimize inconvenience to residents during the construction period and kindly ask for the active cooperation and understanding of residents, including using the subway whenever possible.”
