Yongin City to Prioritize Improvements to Vehicle Passing Sections in Gogi Bridge Reconstruction Area

Compensation Negotiations to Be Completed by September, Temporary Paving Finished Within the Year
Mayor Lee: "We Will Prioritize Improving Sections Where Vehicles Cannot Pass to Alleviate Inconvenience"

On July 25, the city of Yongin in Gyeonggi Province announced that it will prioritize improvements to sections of the road where vehicles have difficulty passing each other, in order to alleviate inconvenience for residents in the Gogi Bridge area of Dongcheon-dong, Suji-gu, where a bridge reconstruction project is underway.

The road selected for priority improvement is Gogi-ro 337beon-gil, located near Gogi Elementary School. This section has long been problematic due to its narrow width, making it impossible for vehicles to pass each other.

The city plans to complete compensation negotiations as early as September and finish temporary paving within the year to resolve traffic inconveniences for residents.

Gogi Bridge connects Gogi-dong in Suji-gu, Yongin, and Daejang-dong in Bundang-gu, Seongnam. Although it was constructed in 2003, the narrow 8-meter-wide road has caused severe traffic congestion. Through the reconstruction project, the city plans to expand Gogi Bridge to four lanes, with a length of 46.4 meters and a width of 20 meters.

Currently, compensation procedures for all land to be incorporated are being prepared. The city will begin compensation next month, start construction in March next year, and aims to complete the project by the end of 2027.

Previously, immediately after taking office in July 2022, Yongin Mayor Lee Sangil reached an agreement with Seongnam City for the expansion of Gogi Bridge and improvement of the surrounding traffic. In September of the same year, Yongin City, Seongnam City, and Gyeonggi Province also signed a business agreement to improve traffic in the area.

Mayor Lee stated, "We plan to quickly improve the sections where vehicle passing is difficult, in order to reduce traffic inconvenience for citizens as much as possible," and added, "We will also do our best to ensure that the Gogi Bridge reconstruction project proceeds without any setbacks."
