Pre-inspection Conducted for Suwon Station Bypass Road Opening

Suwon City conducted a pre-inspection on the 7th for the road opening of the Suwon Station bypass road construction section on National Route 42, spanning from Seoho Intersection to Terminal Intersection.

The inspection was carried out by eight officials including the head of the Construction and Transportation Bureau, director of the Road Division, police officials, and construction personnel, who departed from Seoho Underground Passage and walked through the entire section, thoroughly checking asphalt paving, high-pressure block installation on sidewalks, surrounding environment maintenance, and traffic facility installation status.

The inspection section includes the entire Suwon Station Bypass Road District 1 construction section from Seoho Underground Passage to National Route 43 to Seryु Underground Passage to Seryु Bridge, the District 2 construction section of Suwon Station Bypass Road from Seoho Intersection to Seoho Underground Passage on National Route 42, road expansion from Seryु Bridge to Terminal Intersection to Gungchon Intersection, and the entire elevated construction section of National Route 1 from Seryư Bridge to Seryư Intersection to Terminal Intersection to Gungcheon Intersection.

Meanwhile, the opening of the main line of National Route 42-43 to Gungchon Intersection is scheduled for the 28th at 2 p.m., covering the section from Seoho Intersection through Seodun-dong Beolleo, Seryư Intersection, to Gungchon Intersection.

In this regard, a city official stated, "Once the bypass road opens, the dispersal of traffic entering and exiting Suwon Station's private railway station will alleviate downtown traffic congestion, reduce travel time for traffic from Incheon and Balan toward Osan and Youngtong directions, decrease logistics costs, and it is expected that the connecting lines between east and west residential areas, which had been cut off by the Gyeongbu Railway Line, will be expanded."
