Suwon City and Korean Railroad Facility Corporation Sign MOU for Technical Support for Suwon LRT

Suwon City and the Korean Railroad Facility Corporation (KR Corporation) will sign a Memorandum of Understanding on the 19th to provide technical support for the Suwon Light Rail Transit project.

Through this MOU, the city plans to establish a cooperation system that includes administrative expertise and technical support from the Korean Railroad Facility Corporation necessary for the construction of the Suwon LRT North-South Line project.

In particular, the city will share technologies held by the railroad corporation and seek technical consultation on issues that may arise during the implementation process.

The MOU includes contents such as project management task performance, design review, construction technology support, and maintenance support. The city expects to receive systematic technical support from the design phase through post-completion maintenance systems, track facilities, and communication facilities for routes, bridges, power, and vehicles.

An official from the city's LRT project said, "As the Korean Railroad Facility Corporation has extensive experience, it will provide significant assistance to the Suwon LRT project."

Meanwhile, the Suwon LRT (North-South Line) project plans to invest 941.9 billion won (including 480.4 billion won in private capital) by 2013 to construct 22 stations and one vehicle depot along a total length of 18.75 kilometers, passing through Seryeo Station, Bus Terminal, City Hall, World Cup Stadium, General Sports Complex, Jeongja·Cheoncheon District, and Seongdae Station.
