Namyangju City to Expand Nokchon IC Connecting Road to Four Lanes... Targets June 2029 Completion
17.4 billion won to be invested in 1-kilometer stretch to Nokchon Bridge
Aiming to complete land compensation in 2027
Namyangju City in Gyeonggi Province will expand a connecting road to ease traffic congestion around Nokchon IC in Hwado-eup, a stretch known for chronic traffic jams.
Namyangju City Mayor Choi Hyundeok announced on November 2 that it will expand the approximately 1-kilometer section from Nokchon IC to Nokchon Bridge from two lanes to four as part of the “Rural Road No. 102 (Nokchon-Changhyeon) Expansion Project.” The project has a total budget of 17.4 billion won. The city aims to complete compensation in 2027 and finish construction in June 2029.
Residents have long faced travel inconveniences due to chronic traffic congestion around Nokchon IC. Concerns have been raised that congestion could continue as traffic spills onto nearby connecting roads, even after the project to improve a bottleneck on the national road at Nokchon IC is completed at the end of this month.
The city plans to accommodate increased traffic by expanding the connecting road and improve travel convenience for residents and local businesses.
The project will affect 192 land parcels, including publicly owned land, covering a total of 29,583 square meters. From this month through next month, the city will conduct preliminary surveys of the affected land and structures and announce its compensation plan. After appraisals, it plans to begin negotiations on compensation for losses with landowners and other relevant parties next year.
The city will inform those eligible for compensation about the project schedule and compensation procedures and seek their views through individual consultations.
