Suwon Station Overpass to Agricultural Technology Park Road Opens with 6-Lane Expansion on 21st

A 1.75㎞ section of Suwon Bypass Road Phase 2 from the Suwon Station Overpass intersection to the Rural Development Administration (Guneung-dong Wetgeori) will expand and open as a two-way 6-lane road starting on the 21st.

According to Suwon City, Route 42 expansion construction, which began in March 2005 with approximately 13 billion won invested, has expanded the section from the Incheon direction to Suwon Station to 35 meters wide with 6 lanes.

As a result, the average traffic speed in this section, which approximately 70,000 vehicles pass through daily, is expected to improve from 11.8 km/h (Suwon Station direction) and 40.4 km/h (Incheon direction) to an average of 60 km/h, with traffic congestion caused by bottlenecks anticipated to ease.

Additionally, this section will connect to the Suwon Bypass Road and the Seoho Interchange, as well as the elevated road from Seryudu Intersection to Terminal Intersection.

This will enable vehicle traffic between Ansan and Incheon to Osan and Yeongdeungpo directions without passing through Yeokjeon-ro, which is expected to help reduce congestion in downtown Suwon Station.

A city official stated, "The Seoho Interchange to Hwaseo-dong section of the Suwon Bypass Road is scheduled to open by May next year," and explained, "Once this section opens, traffic congestion heading toward Wol'am IC, North Suwon, Incheon, Balan, Osan, and Yeongdeungpo from downtown Suwon Station will be resolved, and the internal circulation system will be completed."
