Two Lanes of Suwon's Sungseong-ro Closed Until February Next Year

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Suwon Special City announced on the 21st that it will restrict two lanes on the construction section until February next year to proceed with the flood mitigation project in the Younghwa-dong area of Jangan-gu.

The flood mitigation project in the Younghwa-dong area involves installing a new sewage pipeline on a 1.106 km section of Sungseong-ro, extending from Park Prugio Apartment near Hwaseo Station to the Jeongja Intersection. The city will divide Sungseong-ro into 11 sections, conduct two-week construction in each section, and modify traffic systems accordingly.

The lane closure period runs from the end of this month through February next year. To ensure safe vehicle operation, the city will install directional signs and robotic traffic controllers at various points along the construction section.

The flood mitigation project in Younghwa-dong is the first phase of the "Younghwa Drainage District Priority Management Area Sewage System Improvement Project," which began in November 2022. The project, running through December 2027, consists of three phases: flood mitigation at the Hwasan Underground Underpass (Phase 2) and improvement of the sewage pipeline in the Younghwa Drainage District Priority Management Area totaling 5.878 km in length (Phase 3).

A city official stated, "We ask that you take alternative routes as traffic congestion is expected in the Sungseong-ro area through February next year due to the flood mitigation project in Younghwa-dong."
