Yuseong-gu, Daejeon, strives to prepare measures ahead of traffic congestion control

On the 9th, Daejeon Yuseong-gu discussed measures to minimize inconvenience to residents with related organizations ahead of traffic control in the area of ​​Oncheon Bridge, the construction site of Daejeon Urban Railway Line 2 Tram Section 7 (approximately 2.6km section between Dasol Apartment and Daejeon City Museum).

Yuseong-gu Mayor Jeong Yong-rae reviewed the construction progress and surrounding road conditions with about 10 people, including the Yuseong Police Station chief and Daejeon City officials, and shared opinions on cooperation plans to improve vehicle flow.

According to the administrative authorities, for 20 months from the 16th to June 30, 2028, vehicle traffic will be controlled in 4 of the 10 round-trip lanes in the 150m section around Oncheon Bridge. The city explained that this was a construction project to secure the structural safety necessary for tram operation.

Oncheon Bridge is one of the transportation hubs in Yuseong-gu, connecting the areas of Doan, Bongmyeong, and Eoeun-dong, and is a bridge within the living area of ​​Chungnam National University students. Currently, the daily traffic volume in this area is around 20,000 vehicles.

Yuseong-gu plans to discuss ways to secure a bypass with related organizations, including Chungnam National University, while simultaneously designating special parking zones on nearby roads and cracking down on illegal parking.

District Mayor Jeong said, "Tram construction is an important project to improve Daejeon's transportation environment, but we must also carefully consider the difficulties that residents may experience due to construction. We will actively provide administrative support at the district level to minimize inconveniences."
