Chronic Traffic Congestion at Suwon Station to be Significantly Relieved

Suwon City completed a 2.04-kilometer Phase 1 section of the Suwon Station Bypass-Homaesil IC road project, which has been promoted since 2004, and held an opening ceremony on the 15th.

The section opened connects to the road (3.8㎞) linked with Homaesil IC (Uiwang-Gosaeek Expressway) and is part of the route (Suwon Station Bypass-Western Bypass Road). A total of 76 billion won was invested, and the road features six lanes in each direction with two grade-separated intersections and two bridges.

The city named this road "Hometown Spring Road" and created a tree tunnel by planting pine trees and Yoshino cherry trees as street trees along the route. A yellow clay bicycle path, clay block sidewalks, and small parks were also constructed.

With the opening of this road, Suwon City expects the chronic traffic congestion around Suwon Station, which had been caused by vehicles heading toward Incheon and Hwaseong Hwan-an, to be significantly relieved, bringing benefits such as shortened travel times and reduced logistics costs.
