This project targets a section of approximately 390 meters from GTX Seongnam Station to Maesong Underpass and is expected to be completed by December 2027.

Seongnam City has been promoting the installation of noise reduction facilities by covering the road with a deck structure and then covering it with soil to create a park, in order to alleviate residents' discomfort caused by noise and dust from the approximately 200,000 vehicles passing daily on the Bundang~Suseo urban expressway and to improve the residential environment.

The previously completed first phase project covered a 1.59 km six-lane section from Areum Samgeori in Imae-dong, Bundang-gu (GTX Seongnam Station) to Beolmal Underpass in Yatap-dong and was completed in November 2023.

The second phase project, which has now begun, will be carried out in four stages to minimize the impact on vehicle traffic. Additionally, after the completion of the construction, various resting spaces such as grassy lawns and community plazas will be created on top of the structure to provide residents with a more pleasant living environment.

A Seongnam City official stated, “This second phase project is expected to greatly help resolve the noise issues that have long been a concern for residents and improve the residential environment,” adding, “We will actively reflect residents’ opinions during the construction process to achieve the best possible outcome.”
