Why It Matters
The Metropolitan Transportation Committee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has been operating a rapid promotion task force (TF) to resolve delays in licensing of new city transportation measures, such as the 3rd new city. Through the operation of the TF, two projects, including the underground urban expressway between Gwacheon and Umyeonsan, began construction last month.
The Metropolitan Area Transportation Committee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 10th that it will hold a task force (TF) inspection meeting for rapid promotion of new city transportation measures on the 11th to resolve delays in licensing of new city transportation plans, including the 3rd new city.
At this meeting, we will intensively inspect 16 ‘rapid licensing management projects’ that can accelerate project completion.
The target projects include the Gaeksan Tunnel-National Route 43 connection road in Gyosan District, Hanam, the National Route 39 connection road in Gyeyang District, Incheon, the underground urban expressway between Gwacheon and Umyeonsan in Gwacheon-Gwacheon District, and the expansion and integration of the Ivory Valley underpass.
Three underpasses in the Ansan Jangsang district, expansion of the coastal road in the Poansan district of Uiwang-gun, construction of a new Yongdam IC connection road, and road opening and expansion projects in the Siheung Janghyeon and Siheung Mokgam districts were also included.
The committee plans to check the progress and future schedule of design and licensing for each project and shorten the licensing period as much as possible through consultations between related organizations.
Previously, through TF operation, two projects, including the underground urban expressway between Gwacheon and Umyeonsan in Gwacheon-Gwacheon District, began construction last month.
The committee plans to support the follow-up licensing process for other rapid licensing projects without disruption and identify issues for system improvement by analyzing factors and structural problems that repeatedly occur in licensing delays.
Moon Seok-jun, acting director of the committee's Metropolitan Transportation Policy Bureau, asked local governments and the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) to thoroughly manage the schedule for each project and preemptively adjust matters that require consultation to avoid delays in follow-up procedures.
