Jangam Station to Close From Tomorrow Through Oct. 30…Line 7 to Operate Only to Dobongsan Station

Jangam Station on Subway Line 7 will close from October 2 to 30 for the creation of a new station building in connection with the Dobongsan-Okjeong Metropolitan Railroad construction. Accordingly, Line 7 trains will operate only to Dobongsan Station, the stop before Jangam Station, during the closure period.

Gyeonggi Province will operate free shuttle buses between Dobongsan and Jangam stations to reduce inconvenience for passengers during the closure.

The free shuttle buses will operate on the route from Dobongsan Station Transfer Center to Dobong Depot Main Gate to Jangam Station Bus Stop from 5 a.m. to midnight. The operation interval is 7 to 15 minutes on weekdays and 10 to 20 minutes on weekends and holidays.

This closure is a measure to demolish the existing Jangam Station and construct a new Jangam Station connected to the Dobongsan-Okjeong Metropolitan Railroad. Currently, Jangam Station operates as a simple station building within the Dobong Depot. To maintain train operations during the construction of the new station building, the province has installed a temporary Jangam Station next to the exit of the existing Jangam Station.

However, before operating the temporary Jangam Station, safety verification is required including track connection, relocation of signal and communication facilities, and test runs, so the province will suspend Jangam Station operations for approximately one month.

On October 2, the first day of closure, the province will connect the track leading to the temporary Jangam Station with the existing track. Subsequently, through October 24, the province will conduct relocation of related facilities, joint inspections, and supplementary work, and plans to verify the train operation system in the same manner as actual operations through October 27. After completing all inspections, the province will begin operating the temporary Jangam Station from October 31.

To reduce confusion among Jangam Station users, Gyeonggi Province has been announcing the closure schedule and free shuttle bus operation plan through stations, trains, and bus stops since September.

Park Young-shin, director of the Railway Construction Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "We are continuously informing citizens who use Jangam Station about the closure schedule and alternative transportation to prevent inconvenience," and added, "We will thoroughly complete safety inspections as planned so that citizens can safely use the temporary Jangam Station from October 31."

Meanwhile, the Dobongsan-Okjeong Metropolitan Railroad is a single-track light rail project connecting 15.1 km from Dobongsan Station in Seoul through Jangam Station and Tapsuk Station in Uijeongbu City to Goeup District in Yangju City. Three stations will be built, and the total project cost is 893.5 billion won. As of September 2026, the overall project completion rate is 63.62%.
