The maintenance project will cover a total length of 3.93 kilometers along Cheongdamcheon, stretching from Mansong-dong to Goam-dong in Yangju. The project includes 5.0 kilometers of embankment construction, 5.0 kilometers of embankment reinforcement and repair, and the installation of two bridges.

The total project cost is 20.8 billion won, funded by the province. This includes 16.3 billion won for construction, 1.5 billion won for supervision, 2.2 billion won for compensation, and 800 million won for design and other expenses. The construction is targeted for completion in October 2027.

The Cheongdamcheon maintenance project began with a detailed design service and environmental impact assessment consultation in 2021, followed by value engineering advisory and review by the Gyeonggi Province Construction Technology Review Committee in 2023. In July 2024, the river construction implementation plan was announced, initiating the compensation negotiation process and laying the groundwork for the full-scale project.

Kang Sungseup, Director of Construction at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Through this maintenance project, the risk of Cheongdamcheon overflowing during heavy rainfall will be significantly reduced, contributing to the safety and quality of life for local residents. We will work closely with Yangju City and the local community to ensure the smooth progress of the project."

Upon completion of this maintenance project, Gyeonggi Province plans to enhance the flood control capacity and safety of the entire 8.7-kilometer stretch of Cheongdamcheon, including the 3.52-kilometer section led by LH. The aim is to create an eco-friendly and safe river space, providing a secure environment for citizens to enjoy.
