[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] The 'Sindosi~Seolmun Road,' connecting Paju Unjeong New Town in Gyeonggi Province and the Seoul~Munsan Expressway, will open after 1 year and 7 months since construction began.

According to Paju City on the 16th, the 'Sindosi~Seolmun Road' was constructed with a total project cost of 44.8 billion KRW, spanning a total length of 1.6 km and a width of 24 meters. Construction started in November 2019, and it is scheduled to open at midnight on the 17th.

With the opening of this road, it connects Sangjiseok-dong to Goyang City's Seolmun IC, eliminating the inconvenience of having to detour for more than 20 minutes to use the Seoul~Munsan Expressway.

In particular, Unjeong New Town had severe traffic congestion and frequent safety accidents due to a rapid increase in traffic volume, making traffic improvement necessary.

Choi Jong-hwan, Mayor of Paju City, said, "Starting with the Sindosi~Seolmun Road, the Seoul~Munsan Expressway will become a hub of connectivity, contributing to regional development, resolving traffic inconveniences, and improving a pleasant traffic environment."
