Yongin City Officially Opens 'Bogeawonsam-ro' Connecting Semiconductor Cluster... Logistics and Traffic Improvements Anticipated

National Road 17 to Yongin Semiconductor Cluster
1.88km Section Expanded to Four Lanes

Yongin Special City in Gyeonggi Province officially opened 'Bogeawonsam-ro (Jung 1-19-ho)' on May 21, connecting Gajewol Intersection on National Road 17 in Wonsam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, to the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex.

Bogeawonsam-ro is a road expansion project implemented in response to increased traffic demand stemming from the creation of the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex. The city partially opened some sections, excluding the bridge area, in December last year, and temporarily opened the entire route in March this year, gradually making the road accessible in phases.

Since construction began in May 2024, the city has invested a total of 43.3 billion won to expand a 1.88 km section, including the existing Gajewol 1 Bridge, from a two-lane road to a four-lane road with a width of 20 to 35 meters.

In particular, Bogeawonsam-ro is directly connected to the Namyongin IC on the Sejong–Pocheon Expressway, and is expected to serve as a key transportation corridor, improving access to the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster General Industrial Complex. This is anticipated to not only increase efficiency for semiconductor construction and logistics vehicles, but also have a positive impact on the expansion of infrastructure in the industrial complex.

Improvements in traffic conditions for residents of Wonsam-myeon are also expected. Previously, the area suffered from chronic congestion and inconvenience due to narrow roads and increased passage of large vehicles.

An official from Yongin City stated, "We expect significant improvement in the traffic environment for Wonsam-myeon residents, who have suffered from chronic congestion and inconvenience due to narrow roads and heavy vehicle traffic," adding, "We anticipate that Bogeawonsam-ro will serve as a key transportation infrastructure to enhance semiconductor logistics accessibility."
