This project, which began construction in December 2014, is an urban road development initiative with a total project cost of 21.9 billion won. The road has a total length of 662 meters and a width ranging from 20 to 25 meters, with four lanes for two-way traffic.

This section had been an area where traffic inconvenience due to congestion around the Jorye Intersection had been continuously raised. Once the road opens, the traffic volume concentrated at Jorye Intersection is expected to be dispersed, helping alleviate vehicle congestion and improving accessibility toward the courthouse.

During construction, high-voltage power lines were buried underground in cooperation with Korea Electric Power Corporation, and noise and vibration reduction techniques were applied based on feedback from nearby residents. Additionally, soundproof walls and green sound barriers were installed around apartment complexes.

The opening ceremony will proceed with a project progress report, a commemorative speech, and a ribbon-cutting event.

An official from Suncheon City said, "We expect this will help improve the overall traffic system in the Jorye-dong area."
