The Gwangteo Intersection is a major gateway to Wonju, where National Route 42, Local Route 88, and City Road 1-701 converge. However, due to persistent traffic congestion, users have continuously called for improvements in this area.

Won Kangsoo, Mayor of Wonju, stated, "On behalf of the 360,000 citizens of Wonju, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Wonju Regional Land Management Office for actively responding to the residents' requests for improvement. As the Gwangteo Intersection has long caused inconvenience for citizens, this project will serve as an important milestone in improving the quality of life for local residents and driving the city's development."

Mayor Won also added, "I ask for your continued interest and cooperation so that the construction of the Heungeop-Jijeong bypass road, which has been selected as a candidate for the preliminary feasibility study under the 6th National and Local Road Five-Year Comprehensive Plan, can proceed as quickly as possible."
