Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 8th that it conducted an on-site inspection of the traffic system on the east-west connecting road above the Gyeongbu Expressway in collaboration with related organizations such as Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), Korea Rail Network Authority, and Hwaseong Dongtan Police Station.

Hwaseong City, along with LH, the Korea Rail Network Authority, and Hwaseong Dongtan Police Station, formed a joint inspection team to conduct an on-site inspection of the overpass connecting the Gyeongbu Expressway. All six overpass connections linking Dongtan 1 and 2 New Towns were opened by the end of last year. Provided by Hwaseong City

The project for the connecting road above the Gyeongbu Expressway involves linking six cross roads that connect Dongtan 1 and 2 New Towns on the 1.2 km underground section of the expressway. LH, the project implementer, opened all four auxiliary arterial roads following two main arterial roads on December 30 last year.

During this on-site inspection, issues related to the overall traffic system, including ▲signal systems ▲road surface markings ▲road signs on the connecting roads and intersections, were monitored. A thorough inspection was also conducted at the entrance and exit of the underground parking lot at Dongtan Station. The city plans to analyze the monitoring results and establish a phased implementation plan to address the identified issues.

Kim Seong-hyun, Director of the Hwaseong City Transportation Bureau, stated, "Monitoring the east-west connecting road is not a one-time inspection issue," adding, "We will continue inspections until traffic problems are resolved to ensure that citizens do not experience any inconvenience when using the roads."
