Pushes Forward with Choji Grand Bridge to Incheon Section

The National Byway 84 section from Choji Grand Bridge to Incheon, a major issue in the Gimpo area and a logistics-focused main artery connecting Gyeonggi Province's western industrial complexes with Incheon Port, is being pushed forward in earnest.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 3rd that it plans to begin construction in the second half of this year on the National Byway 84 road project from Choji Grand Bridge to Incheon, which had been delayed for an extended period.

The Choji Grand Bridge to Incheon road project involves the construction of a new 7.9 km section from Daegok-myeon in Gimpo City to Incheon City with 4 to 6 lanes. A total of 6 industrial complexes, including Yangcheon Industrial Complex, are located in the vicinity through which the route passes. The road is planned to connect with the Second Outer Ring Road and serves as a central axis for logistics movement in western Gyeonggi Province.

The project has secured a budget of 8.8 billion won, including 7.8 billion won in national funds this year. The incorporated land and displaced facilities have been selected for the 'Land Reserve Project,' in which the LH Land Bank will provide early compensation, with expectations for significantly shortened project timelines through early completion of compensation.

Gyeonggi Province plans to complete and open a 640-meter section connecting the industrial complexes to the Incheon area first, and through this is expected to substantially reduce logistics movement time for the industrial complexes, improving competitiveness for businesses located there.

Lee Won-young, head of the Road Planning Division at Gyeonggi Province, said, "We will make our best efforts to ensure this long-cherished project of local residents and business people is completed early."
