The 'Namjeong–Doam Road Expansion and Paving Project' was undertaken to address increased traffic demand following the opening of Sindun Station in 2016 and to resolve congestion caused by the rise in vehicles using the Doam Interchange (IC) after the opening of the Seongnam–Janghowon Expressway (National Route 3).

This project involved a total investment of 27 billion won, expanding the 2.5 km section from two lanes to four lanes. The project began with the commencement of the detailed design service in 2018, followed by completion of land compensation in 2020 with an expenditure of 9.1 billion won. Construction started in 2022 with a construction cost of 17.5 billion won, and the work was completed in March 2026.

Mayor Kim Kyunghee stated, "This road expansion will greatly contribute to alleviating the inconvenience of residents and improving the traffic environment." She added, "Going forward, we will continue to expand the road network by promoting the construction of rural roads such as the Namjeong-ri to Jiseok-ri, Inhu-ri to Yongmyeon-ri, Doam-ri to Dobong-ri sections, as well as urban planned roads like Sojeong-ri and Sugwang-ri, to create a transportation environment that is convenient for all citizens."
