Induk-won to Suwon Double-Track Rail Project Secures 5 Billion Won for Master Plan

The 2012 national budget, which passed through the National Assembly plenary session on the 31st, has finalized 5 billion won for the master plan of the 'Induk-won to Suwon Double-Track Rail Project,' and the project will be promoted in earnest starting next year.

Last November, during the budget review process of the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, Rep. Lee Chan-yeol (Democratic United Party, Jangan-gu) coordinated in advance with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to increase the 5 billion won budget for establishing the master plan of the Induk-won to Suwon Double-Track Rail Project before the preliminary feasibility study results were announced. The budget was reflected as proposed in the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts and passed the plenary session.

Rep. Lee stated, "With the 2012 budget confirmed, the Induk-won to Suwon Double-Track Rail Project will proceed step by step," and added, "I will now do my best to expedite construction and attract a station by reflecting the opinions of Jangan-gu residents."

The 'Induk-won to Suwon Double-Track Rail' project connects Induk-won Station on Subway Line 4 through Jangan-gu Office to Dongtan in Hwaseong, with a total length of 35.3 kilometers and a total project cost of 2.4735 trillion won. When the line is completed, it is expected to help resolve public transportation issues not only in Suwon but also in the southwestern metropolitan region.
