The promotion team comprises 17 members in total, led by the deputy governor and includes members from the county council, local community representatives, road experts, and relevant civil servants. Going forward, the team will serve as an advisory body, collecting various local opinions related to the Seoul-Yangpyeong Expressway and devising an optimal route plan that takes into account local conditions.

During the appointment ceremony, Yangpyeong County Governor Jeon Jinseon presented appointment letters to the team members and shared guidance on future operations.

We will concentrate all administrative efforts to devise the optimal route plan, based on objective and reasonable reviews, that will gain broad support from residents and to ensure that the project proceeds without issue."

Yangpyeong County also plans to continuously coordinate with relevant organizations while strengthening communication with residents, so that local opinions are adequately reflected in the project.
