The mediation meeting was attended by the head of the Gu-eup Railroad Crossing Opening Promotion Committee, who filed the collective complaint; the Head of the Metropolitan Headquarters of the National Railroad Authority, who was the respondent; the Acting Mayor of Yeoncheon County, who is also the Deputy Mayor, representing a related agency; and approximately 50 Yeoncheon County residents.

Before the mediation meeting began, participants visited the Gu-eup Railroad Crossing site, where the head of the Economic and Transportation Division of Yeoncheon County explained the progress of the Gu-eup Overpass project.

The major obstacle to installing the Gu-eup Overpass had been the cost-sharing issue, but this is expected to be resolved through the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission's mediation, which is expected to give fresh momentum to the overpass installation project.

According to the main points of the mediation plan proposed by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, Yeoncheon County and the National Railroad Authority agreed to jointly promote the installation of the Gu-eup Overpass. The total cost of the project will be shared, with the National Railroad Authority covering 75% and Yeoncheon County covering 25%.

Starting with this mediation meeting, we will work closely with the National Railroad Authority to promptly move forward with the overpass installation project."
