The section to be opened first connects Jakchon-ri and Haewol-ri, spanning 1.85 km, and is a two-lane road with a width of 10.5 meters. The construction involved a total investment of 16.7 billion KRW, including 5 billion KRW from the national government and 11.7 billion KRW from the city government, and includes one ecological tunnel along the route.

This section is near Jisan Forest in Haewol-ri, where traffic congestion used to occur due to increased traffic volume on weekends and during peak tourist seasons.
