Anseong City Completes Road Expansion Project on Provincial Route 5 Between Samheung and Mijang After 4 Years

On the 28th, Anseong City held an opening ceremony for Provincial Route 5 connecting Samheung-ri in Geumgwang-myeon and Mijang-ri in Samjuk-myeon.

The road was constructed as a two-lane highway with a total length of 3.0 km and width of 9 meters, with a total project cost of 49 billion won. In particular, as the first tunnel project directly undertaken by Anseong City with a tunnel measuring 498 meters in length, it has set a new milestone in Anseong City's road construction.

Completed after approximately 4 years of construction beginning in March 2022, the road opening is expected to improve accessibility to National Route 38 and the Sejong-Pocheon Expressway, while significantly enhancing travel convenience for residents of Geumgwang-myeon and Samjuk-myeon.

Prior to the opening, Anseong City conducted preliminary on-site inspections targeting road pavement, tunnels, drainage facilities, traffic safety facilities, and road signs to carefully verify safety and construction quality, making efforts to create a road that citizens can use with confidence.

Mayor Kim Bo-ra of Anseong City said at the opening ceremony, "The road opening today is not merely a road but a new path connecting people and regions, and linking Anseong's future," adding, "I hope this becomes a path that goes beyond the meaning of being Anseong City's first tunnel, making citizens' lives more convenient and bringing new vitality to the region."

Going forward, Anseong City plans to continue efforts in expanding and managing road infrastructure to enhance traffic convenience and safety for citizens and lead balanced development between regions.
