Acting Mayor Kim Seokpil of Cheonan Requests Support for Key Projects from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport

Seonggeo-Mokcheon National Road Bypass and
Expansion of National Road No. 1 from Mokcheon to Samryong

Kim Seokpil, Acting Mayor of Cheonan, visited the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on May 21 to request national funding support for the smooth progress of key road projects.

The projects proposed on this day include the construction of the Seonggeo-Mokcheon National Road Bypass and the expansion of National Road No. 1 from Mokcheon to Samryong.

The Seonggeo-Mokcheon National Road Bypass is a route connecting the north and south of Cheonan, with a total length of 12.9 kilometers and a four-lane, two-way road.

The Mokcheon-Samryong National Road No. 1 expansion project covers a total length of 4.3 kilometers, expanding the section from Namcheonan IC to the Cheongsam Intersection in Samryong-dong to a six-lane, two-way road.

These routes are being promoted to ease traffic congestion on National Road No. 1, which experiences severe congestion during commuting hours. The city is currently conducting detailed design work with the goal of starting construction next year.

Acting Mayor Kim Seokpil stated, "To ensure the smooth progress of regional key projects for balanced national development and to resolve chronic congestion on National Road No. 1, we will continue to consult with relevant ministries and local members of the National Assembly to secure the necessary national funding."
