With the opening of this road, vehicles can now travel directly from the intersection near Jigok Elementary School in Jigok-dong to Sangha-dong. Previously, to commute between the two areas, drivers had to use Saeun-ro in the Korea Folk Village area, head toward Yongin City Hall, and then enter Jungbu-daero near Hyoja Hospital.

The city expects that the new road will reduce the travel distance between the two areas by 1.7 kilometers, significantly improving transportation convenience for residents.

This road, which cost a total of 8 billion won to construct, is a two-lane road with a length of 718 meters and a width of 12 meters. It also features a combined pedestrian and bicycle path, creating a safe environment for not only vehicles but also pedestrians and cyclists.

Mayor Lee Sangil stated, "The opening of this road will help improve traffic flow not only between Jigok-dong and Sangha-dong, but also in the surrounding areas."
