The "Pedestrian Overpass between Unjeong New Town and Yadang-dong" measures 99 meters in length and 4.5 meters in width, with a total project cost of 5.3 billion won. From the initial and detailed design in February 2023 to the completion ceremony, the project took 2 years and 10 months to finish.

Until now, Unjeong New Town and Yadang-dong were separated by the Gyeongui-Jungang Line railway, forcing residents traveling between the two areas to take significant detours and causing considerable inconvenience. With the installation of this pedestrian overpass, the travel route between the two areas has been greatly shortened, and residents are expected to benefit from improved convenience and pedestrian safety.

In particular, residents of Yadang-dong will now have easier access to a range of infrastructure in Unjeong New Town, including Unjeong Lake Park, Sori Stream, and neighborhood facilities. The commuting environment for students is also expected to improve significantly.

Kim Kyung-il, Mayor of Paju, stated, "The pedestrian overpass connecting Unjeong New Town and Yadang-dong is a bridge of mutual prosperity that connects people and communities. We will do our utmost to expand urban infrastructure to make citizens' lives more convenient and safer."

The city plans to use this project as an opportunity to further strengthen regional connectivity and continuously expand pedestrian-oriented urban infrastructure and daily living facilities.
