On this stretch, the road narrowed in front of Geumho Eoullim Apartments, causing bottlenecks as vehicles turning left and right became entangled. Traffic congestion was particularly severe during commuting hours, inconveniencing residents.
In February 2023, the city signed an agreement with the Korea Real Estate Board to entrust it with compensation work for land and buildings, and proceeded with the compensation process. In March 2025, it began demolishing existing buildings and widening and paving the road, completing the project in November 2026.
The city expects the expansion to improve traffic flow around Gimnyangjang Station. It also plans to improve urban planning roads closely connected to residents' daily lives to create a safe and comfortable traffic environment.
