Seven road projects promoted by Gyeonggi Province have passed the comprehensive preliminary feasibility study for incorporation into the 6th National and Local Road Construction Plan (2026–2030). With a total length of 48.9 kilometers and a project budget of 1.4689 trillion won, these initiatives are expected to help ease traffic congestion in the Seoul metropolitan area and enhance the competitiveness of the semiconductor industrial belt.

Gyeonggi Province announced on August 27 that, during the 7th Fiscal Investment Evaluation Committee meeting held by the Ministry of Economy and Finance on August 26, 7 out of the 26 projects submitted by the province passed the comprehensive preliminary feasibility study.

The projects that passed the preliminary feasibility study include: ▲ The Wonsam to Mapyeong segment of National Support Road No. 57 in Cheoin District, Yongin ▲ The Wabu to Hwado 2 segment of National Support Road No. 86 in Namyangju ▲ The Oseong to Godeok segment of National Highway No. 38 in Pyeongtaek ▲ The Dunpo (Asan) to Paengseong Namsan segment of National Highway No. 45 in Pyeongtaek ▲ The Gochon Punggok–Punggok segment of National Highway No. 48 in Gimpo ▲ The National Highway No. 38 Bypass Road in Gongo, Anseong ▲ The Daedeok (Anseong) to Namsa (Yongin) segment of National Support Road No. 23.

Passing the comprehensive preliminary feasibility study indicates that these projects have been deemed feasible to be pursued as national fiscal projects. Going forward, they will proceed with follow-up procedures such as formulating basic plans, detailed design, securing budgets, and obtaining necessary permits and approvals.

This result marks an increase of three projects compared to the 5th plan, in which only four out of 24 submitted projects were selected. The total project budget also increased by approximately 1 trillion won, from 462.6 billion won to 1.4689 trillion won. The range of selected projects has expanded from only national highways and national support roads to include national highway bypass roads as well.

In particular, the Wonsam to Mapyeong (Yongin), Oseong to Godeok (Pyeongtaek), and Daedeok (Anseong) to Namsa (Yongin) segments are considered core roads that will strengthen metropolitan transport infrastructure connecting Yongin, Anseong, and Pyeongtaek as part of the semiconductor industrial belt.

The Wabu to Hwado 2 segment in Namyangju aims to reduce inconvenience for residents caused by increasing traffic volume and to enhance safety in sections with steep slopes and sharp curves. The Gochon Punggok–Punggok segment in Gimpo will improve intersection systems in connection with surrounding developments such as Pungmu station area and Geomdan new town.

For the frequently congested Dunpo (Asan) to Paengseong Namsan segment, the road will be expanded, and in Gongo, Anseong, a bypass road for National Highway No. 38 will be constructed to disperse inner-city traffic volume.

Gyeonggi Province stated that, during the project selection process for preliminary feasibility studies, it actively presented research materials supporting traffic demand and the necessity of the projects to the Korea Development Institute (KDI) to justify project feasibility.

The province plans to continue consultations with related agencies to ensure that all seven projects are ultimately incorporated into the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s 6th National and Local Road Construction Plan in the second half of this year. It also plans to promptly push forward with follow-up steps, such as design and compensation procedures.

Choo Mi-ae, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, said, "We have secured the core road network that will support the competitiveness of the semiconductor industrial belt," and added, "We will do our utmost to ensure the projects are fully incorporated into the national plan and to proceed swiftly with follow-up actions."
