Ulsan City Conducts On-Site Inspection of Ulsan Station Area Infrastructure Improvement Project

On June 12, Mayor Kim Dukyum, City Council Members, and Local Residents Gather Together
Emphasis on Solid Construction and Safety
Listening to Residents' Suggestions

On the morning of June 12, at 10:00 a.m., the Ulsan city government will conduct an on-site inspection of the 'Ulsan Station Integrated Transfer Center Surrounding Infrastructure Improvement Project,' which connects Gyodong-ri and Sinhwa-ri in Samnam-eup, near Ulsan Station.

This inspection has been organized to review the progress of the construction and to listen to local residents' complaints and concerns.

Approximately 15 people will participate in the inspection, including Mayor Kim Dukyum, City Council member Hong Sungwoo, representatives of local residents, and construction officials.

The 'Ulsan Station Integrated Transfer Center Surrounding Infrastructure Improvement Project' is a highly challenging road construction project that connects the station area development zone, which has been separated by the Gyeongbu Expressway and National Route 35, to the Gyodong district via an underground road using a non-open-cut method.

This project began in 2020, but has faced many difficulties, including unfavorable groundwater and geological conditions in the non-open-cut section that made construction challenging, as well as a halt in construction due to the bankruptcy of a participating contractor.

In response, the Ulsan city government took measures to address issues such as delayed payments to subcontractors and material suppliers resulting from the contractor's bankruptcy, as well as to ensure safety management at the construction site.

As a result, through mutual consultation among public officials, contractors, and related companies, construction resumed in December of last year.

On this day, Mayor Kim Dukyum will once again emphasize the importance of solid construction and safety to the project officials and will request thorough on-site management to minimize inconvenience to local residents caused by construction delays.

In addition, he plans to hold a meeting with representatives of local residents at the site office to listen to their inconveniences and suggestions arising from the prolonged construction period.

The total project cost is 52.9 billion won, and the goal is to open the underground road by the end of this year.

If the Ulsan Station area is connected to the existing city center, it is expected to bring various positive effects, such as improved logistics systems and transportation in the Samnam-eup area, as well as revitalization of residential areas and local commercial districts.
