Osan City Inspects Construction Site of Road Crossing Gyeongbu Railway Line

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyeok] Osan City visited the construction site of the Gyeongbu Railway Line crossing road project on the 11th to inspect the construction progress.

Mayor Lee Gwon-jae received reports on the current construction status and future implementation schedule during the site inspection, and toured major construction sections with related officials to comprehensively inspect construction safety management practices and measures to minimize civic inconvenience.

The mayor emphasized during the site inspection, "The Gyeongbu Railway Line crossing road project is an important infrastructure directly connected to citizens' daily lives," and stressed, "We must never forget for a moment that ensuring it becomes a safe facility without any poor workmanship from the construction process is essential."

The mayor added, "The safety of those participating in the construction must also be the top priority in the process of carrying out the project," and requested, "Please do your utmost in site management to prevent traffic inconvenience, noise, and safety accidents caused by the construction."

Meanwhile, the Gyeongbu Railway Line crossing road project is being pursued as part of the Segyo District 2 Comprehensive Traffic Improvement Plan, with 133.9 billion won invested in a large-scale project with a total length of 1.54 km connecting Wondong (National Route 1) and Nueup-dong, which are separated by the Gyeongbu Railway Line.

When the road is completed, approximately 30,000 vehicles that previously used Nambu-daero and Seongho-daero are expected to be dispersed to the new road (as of 2030), and the travel time from Segyo District 2 to the entrance of Osan IC is projected to be reduced from about 40 minutes to around 20 minutes.
