Currently, the entrance ramp to Namwonju Interchange, which is managed by Korea Expressway Corporation, operates with only one lane. As a result, congestion frequently occurs on Bukwon-ro, the access road, during rush hours and weekends, causing significant inconvenience to many residents.

In response, reflecting the continuous requests from citizens for improvement, Wonju City asked Korea Expressway Corporation to expand the entrance. Korea Expressway Corporation has decided to invest 800 million won to widen the entrance ramp from one lane to two lanes.

Won Kangsu, Mayor of Wonju, stated, "I deeply appreciate Korea Expressway Corporation for actively addressing the persistent demands of residents to resolve traffic inconveniences," and added, "We will continue to do our utmost to create a safe and convenient transportation environment for everyone."
