The temporary pedestrian walkway connects 230 meters on the east and west sides above the Gyeongbu Expressway centered around Dongtan Station and links to Exit 1 on the ground level of Dongtan Station. It is scheduled to be operational from 7 p.m. on the 30th. This temporary walkway follows the opening of the east-west connection roads 1 and 6 above the Gyeongbu Expressway at the end of last month and was decided to be installed to reduce inconvenience for citizens before roads 2 to 5 open.

Mayor Jeong said, "The temporary pedestrian walkway will improve accessibility to Dongtan Station and help citizens with their commuting," adding, "We will do our best to ensure that the remaining connecting roads open smoothly by the end of the year."
