Gwacheon Knowledge Information Town Transmission Tower Demolition in Full Swing...Urban Environment Improvements Materializing

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Gwacheon City announced on the 24th that with transmission tower demolition work within the Gwacheon Knowledge Information Town now in full swing, infrastructure expansion and urban environment improvements are becoming tangible.

The transmission tower demolition project is being carried out in phases by the Korea Land & Housing Corporation, which oversees the Gwacheon Knowledge Information Town development project, following the completion of underground transmission line work. By the 25th, three transmission towers located inside the Knowledge Information Town will be prioritized for demolition. The demolition of the remaining two towers is also scheduled to be completed sequentially in accordance with related permitting procedures.

The city expects that this demolition will significantly increase the space utilization of the Knowledge Information Town, and that road planning and infrastructure improvements, which have been constrained by the transmission towers, will accelerate.

In particular, following the transmission tower demolition, the construction of a road in front of Knowledge Block 11, which had previously faced construction restrictions, will become possible, marking a turning point that is expected to significantly improve corporate relocation convenience and citizen mobility.

Mayor Shin Gye-yong stated, "Transmission tower demolition is a critical step in the process of resolving spatial constraints of the Knowledge Information Town and normalizing urban functions," and added, "Going forward, we will continue to consult with the Korea Land & Housing Corporation to ensure the remaining sections are demolished without any setbacks."
