On March 7, the chairperson of the Metropolitan Transportation Committee visited the construction site of the Seoul Subway Line 9 Phase 4 extension project to check on the progress and convey words of encouragement to the stakeholders.

After receiving a report from the city official on the progress of the project, the chairperson visited the tunnel excavation and station construction site, urging that “efforts must be made to minimize inconvenience to citizens and ensure safe construction.”

He emphasized that “we must reduce traffic congestion and noise issues while ensuring thorough safety management to open on time,” and requested that everyone do their best to ensure the project proceeds smoothly.

Expected Improvement in Transportation Convenience with Line 9 Extension

Once the 4th phase extension of Line 9 is complete, commuting between Gangdong-gu and Gangnam is expected to become much smoother. Currently, transfers are required to travel from Gangdong-gu to Gangnam, but this extension will allow users to travel quickly on Line 9 without needing to transfer.

In particular, the commuting time for residents of eastern Seoul, including Myeongil-dong, Goduk-dong, and Sangil-dong, will be reduced significantly, and the convenience of using public transportation is expected to greatly improve. Additionally, residents of new residential complexes like the Goduk Gangil District are also expected to experience a significant alleviation of transportation inconveniences. These changes are likely to have a positive effect on local residents.

Daegwangwi Actively Promotes Budget Support

The chairperson stressed that "the 4th phase extension of Seoul Subway Line 9 is an important project that significantly improves public transportation accessibility in the eastern region." He added, "Daegwangwi will swiftly provide budget support to ensure this project proceeds smoothly."

The Seoul Metropolitan Government is thoroughly managing budget acquisition and construction progress to accelerate the project's advancement and plans to prepare additional transportation measures in the future. These efforts demonstrate the commitment to enhance transportation convenience for citizens.
