On April 15, Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation visited the construction site of the Dobongsan-Okjeong Line together with worker representative Park Seokmin to inspect the progress of the project.

This on-site visit was conducted to preemptively identify potential issues in the railway construction process and to establish measures for safety and quality assurance. Construction project stakeholders attended the site to provide detailed explanations and conduct inspections throughout the project. To meticulously check the construction status of major structures and the safety management system, they walked approximately 5 kilometers of underground sections spanning work zones 1 to 3.

The Dobongsan-Okjeong Line is a core metropolitan railway project aimed at improving transportation conditions in northern Gyeonggi Province, with the goal of opening in December 2027. The line connects Uijeongbu and Yangju, with the aim of alleviating traffic congestion and enhancing accessibility in the northeastern part of the Seoul metropolitan area. Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation is prioritizing this project as part of its efforts to establish a railway-centered transportation system in northern Gyeonggi. This visit is also part of a field-oriented administrative strategy to enhance the overall quality of the railway project.

During the site inspection, President Park Jaeman focused on key areas such as the progress at each construction stage, difficulties in major sections of the project, measures to strengthen safety management, quality assurance strategies, and plans to prevent construction delays. He especially prioritized ensuring worker safety and accident prevention, meticulously checking whether the on-site safety management system was operating effectively. Kim Seokho, head of the railway project group, also emphasized the need for ongoing inspections to secure technical excellence and improve construction quality.

Through this on-site inspection, Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation aims to facilitate the smooth opening of the Dobongsan-Okjeong Line and provide full support to ensure there are no setbacks in the project as a professional transportation agency in Gyeonggi Province. Through thorough quality control and safety assurance, the corporation is committed to building a railway infrastructure that residents can trust. Once the project is completed, transportation convenience in northern Gyeonggi is expected to improve significantly, resulting in tangible changes such as reduced commuting times. Furthermore, enhanced regional connectivity is projected to have a positive impact on economic revitalization.
