Currently, the construction of the 104 stations has surpassed a 54% completion rate. As the construction site is adjacent to urban areas, the city is making every effort to minimize inconvenience to residents while carrying out the project.

Mayor Kang Soo-hyun emphasized, "The opening of the Dobongsan~Okjeong metropolitan railway is a crucial project that will enhance our city's value by improving access to the Seoul metropolitan area. Since even a small mistake during tunnel excavation can lead to major accidents, I urge everyone to make safety the top priority and take thorough measures to prevent accidents."
