Cheonan Seobuk-Sunggu Bypass Road Opens, Easing Traffic Congestion

Traffic Volume on City Road No. 10 (Bongjuro) Decreases by 22%

The opening of the Seobuk-Seonggeo National Road Bypass in Cheonan, Chungnam, has improved traffic flow throughout the northern region.

According to the city on the 27th, the Seobuk-Seonggeo National Road Bypass, which opened in September, recorded a traffic volume of 12,656 vehicles.

The Seobuk-Seonggeo National Road Bypass connects National Road No. 1 and Local Road No. 23 (Manghyang-ro), dispersing traffic and resulting in a 22.7% decrease in traffic volume on City Road No. 10 (Bongju-ro), which is a section known for chronic congestion.

On the other hand, traffic volume on Local Road No. 23 (Manghyang-ro) increased by 22.1%, and the city plans to establish traffic improvement measures for this area.

Kang Moonsoo, Head of the Construction and Road Division, said, "With the opening of the road, traffic flow in the northern region has been dispersed, and the arterial road function is being fully realized," adding, "We will promptly push forward projects to improve chronic congestion on Manghyang-ro."
