Kim Dongyeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, will visit the Hwasean Underpass construction site in Suwon as heavy rainfall is forecast for the Seoul metropolitan area.
Gyeonggi Province announced that Governor Kim Dongyeon is scheduled to visit the construction site of the "Daero 1-25 Hwasean Underpass Extension," located at 157 Suseong-ro, 157beon-gil, Paldal-gu, Suwon, at around 2:30 p.m. on July 16.
An official from Gyeonggi Province explained, "As the Korea Meteorological Administration has forecast heavy rainfall through July 18, Governor Kim is visiting the Hwasean Underpass to conduct a safety inspection."
The Hwasean Underpass extension project is a major urban infrastructure initiative being pursued by Suwon City to alleviate traffic congestion and prevent recurring flood damage.
The project is being carried out in three phases. The first phase involves extending the existing 290-meter Hwasean Underpass to 539 meters, with construction having begun in October 2022.
The second phase consists of improving the connection road (126 meters long) to the existing underpass, while the third phase will add a 370-meter underground bus ramp toward Homeasil and a 278-meter underground bus ramp toward Gwanggyo.
