Gyeryong City in South Chungcheong Province announced on the 11th that the Gyeryong Station Transfer Center construction project has received final approval in the first central investment review for local finance in 2025, overseen by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The Gyeryong Station Transfer Center project is being promoted in connection with the first phase of the Chungcheong region metropolitan railway project currently underway. It aims to secure additional parking spaces at Gyeryong Station and establish an efficient transfer system between public transportation and railways for nearby local governments such as Daejeon, Gongju, and Nonsan.

This project was included in the '4th Metropolitan Area Transportation Implementation Plan' in July 2021, and by 2027, the city plans to construct a transfer center connecting passage, transfer parking lot, and access bridge.

The city is currently carrying out administrative procedures for land and obstacle compensation, and plans to complete the transfer center in a timely manner according to the metropolitan railway project schedule, aiming to develop it as a key transportation hub for realizing the Chungcheong megacity.

Mayor Lee Eungwoo stated, "If the Gyeryong Station Transfer Center project proceeds as planned, it is expected to not only improve transportation convenience for Gyeryong citizens but also have a positive effect on population inflow and transportation benefits for metropolitan transportation users in nearby local governments such as Nonsan and Gongju. As this is a key priority project of the 8th popularly elected administration, I will do my best together with over 500 public officials to ensure the project proceeds without any setbacks."

Meanwhile, Gyeryong City is also focusing its administrative efforts on improving citizens' transportation convenience by signing a consignment agreement with the Chungcheong Headquarters of the National Railway Authority for the installation of an additional entrance at Gyeryong Station in connection with the Chungcheong region metropolitan railway project, along with the construction of the transfer center.
