On March 26, Osan City announced that it had finished repainting the lanes and reinstalling traffic safety facilities on the ramp section entering Seoburo from Osandae Station Road. This area had seen a sharp increase in detoured vehicles due to partial closures of Seoburo, resulting in chronic congestion during morning rush hours and constant risks of collisions at merging points.

In response, on March 13, Mayor Lee Gwonjae, city officials, and Osan Police Station jointly inspected the site during the morning commute. The inspection revealed that the ramp’s alignment, lane operation, and placement of safety facilities were not aligned with the actual traffic flow.

Based on the findings, the city reorganized the lanes to facilitate smoother vehicle merging onto the ramp and reinforced traffic safety facilities, carrying out improvements tailored to site conditions. The maintenance work was completed on March 15.

Additionally, the city plans to open a temporary detour road in May that will connect Geumam Intersection to Gajang Intersection on Seoburo, which is expected to help disperse traffic volumes.

Mayor Lee Gwonjae said, "We are focused on quickly addressing issues identified on-site to reduce inconvenience for citizens," adding, "We will continue to improve traffic conditions in major congested areas to deliver tangible improvements for the community."
