Incheon-daero Juan Industrial Complex Entrance Road Opens... Eases Chronic Congestion at Dohwa Interchange

The Incheon city government announced on September 5 that it has opened a new entrance road to the Juan Industrial Complex on the former Gyeongin Expressway section (now Incheon-daero), which is currently undergoing conversion to a general road.

The newly opened entrance road, located in the Incheon-bound section, measures 480 meters in length and 3.25 meters in width. It connects to Yeomjeon-ro, which leads directly to the Juan Industrial Complex.

This new road is expected to help disperse some of the traffic heading from Dohwa Interchange toward Sugol Overpass, thereby alleviating chronic congestion and improving access to the industrial complex. The entrance road has been opened in advance to enhance transportation convenience for citizens and will be upgraded to an intersection once the Incheon-daero general road conversion project is completed.

Incheon city signed a road transfer agreement with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and converted a 10.45-kilometer section of the Gyeongin Expressway, from the Incheon starting point to the Seo-Incheon Interchange, into a general road in 2019. The city named the converted section "Incheon-daero" and has been working on removing retaining walls and soundproof barriers, as well as installing intersections and green spaces.

The first phase, covering 4.81 kilometers from the Incheon starting point to the Juan Industrial Complex Overpass, is currently undergoing retaining wall demolition in the Incheon-bound direction, with completion targeted for 2027. The second phase, spanning 5.64 kilometers from the Juan Industrial Complex Overpass to the Seo-Incheon Interchange, is being carried out as a turnkey project that combines design and construction, with completion scheduled for 2030.
