The maintenance project will be carried out along a 4.5-kilometer section of the stream in Majang-ri, Gwangtan-myeon, Paju City. The project includes 5.3 kilometers of embankment construction, 3.8 kilometers of embankment reinforcement, and the installation of five bridges.

The Munsancheon Stream maintenance project began with the implementation design service and environmental impact assessment consultations in 2018, followed by value engineering (VE) advisory and review by the Gyeonggi Province Construction Technology Review Committee in 2020. In December 2021, the river construction implementation plan was officially announced, initiating the compensation negotiation process and laying the groundwork for the full-scale project.
