Pyeongtaekho is an artificial lake created by the Asan Bay Embankment constructed between Gwongwan-ri, Hyeondeok-myeon, Pyeongtaek-si, and Gongse-ri, Inju-myeon, Asan-si, Chungnam. The crossroad to be opened this time is a total length of 11.69 km, a four-lane road connecting Sinyeong-ri in Poseung-eup and Bonjeong-ri in Paengseong-eup.

The project involved a total budget of 312.7 billion KRW, including 266.7 billion KRW from the national government, 1.5 billion KRW from the provincial government, and 44.5 billion KRW from the city government. Construction began in 2006 and will be completed on the 26th, 19 years later. The scheduled opening date is the 27th. The city expects that once the road opens, the travel distance between the two areas will be reduced by about 7 km, and commuting time will be shortened by an average of 15 to 20 minutes.

During this inspection, the appropriateness of road structure installations, traffic operation plans, drainage facilities, road facilities, and the installation status of traffic signs were comprehensively checked, and final supplementary matters before opening were confirmed.

A Pyeongtaek City official said, "We will do our best to thoroughly complete all inspections and preparations before the opening so that citizens can use the road safely and comfortably."
