Gwacheon City to Renovate Gyeongma Park Station, Seonbawi Station, and Gwacheon Station

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Gwacheon City announced on the 22nd that a full-scale facility improvement project for three stations—Gyeongma Park Station, Seonbawi Station, and Gwacheon Station—on the Gwacheon Line will be launched to improve the aging transit environment.

This project is part of the national railway company's aged railway station facility improvement initiative, with Gyeongma Park Station, Seonbawi Station, and Gwacheon Station selected as priority targets among five stations on the Gwacheon Line.

Upon completion of the project, frequently used public spaces including the platform, waiting room, and restrooms will be newly renovated. The platform ceiling and wall finishes will be replaced, benches and directional signs will be improved, the waiting room and entrance passage connections will be enhanced, and restrooms will be expanded or completely renovated, with aging exterior entrance canopies also scheduled for replacement.

Design work for the three stations was completed in November of last year, and Gyeongma Park Station will begin construction on the 22nd. Seonbawi Station and Gwacheon Station are proceeding with the project targeting July construction commencement.

Additionally, Government Gwacheon Office Station and Daegoongwon Station are scheduled to conduct design contests in the second half of this year, with the Gwacheon Line station facility improvement project expected to expand in phases.
