The maintenance project will cover a 0.63-kilometer section of Chudongcheon Stream flowing through Juwon-ri, Changsu-myeon, Pocheon City. The project includes the construction of 1.0 kilometer of embankments and the installation of one bridge.

The total project cost is 8.8 billion won, funded by the province, and will be allocated as follows: 5.2 billion won for construction, 2.2 billion won for compensation, 700 million won for supervision, and 700 million won for design and other expenses. The construction is scheduled for completion in November 2027.

The Chudongcheon maintenance project began with a detailed design service in 2022, followed by consultations with the Technical Advisory Committee and a small-scale environmental impact assessment. In December 2024, the river construction implementation plan will be publicly announced, initiating the compensation negotiation process and laying the groundwork for the full-scale project.

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

Gyeonggi Province aims to greatly enhance the flood control capacity and stability of Chudongcheon, even during extreme rainfall events, while also creating an eco-friendly and safe river space. This will provide a secure environment for citizens to use and enjoy.
