On the 16th, Yun Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate for People’s Strength, pledged to provide 1.3 million new housing units by underground underground railways and highways in the metropolitan area, and to extend the Shinbundang Line to the northwestern part of Seoul to alleviate the pain of commuting to and from the city center of the new city residents.
Candidate Yoon held a press conference to announce the ‘Metropolitan Transportation Commitment’ at the People’s Power Central Party in Yeouido, Seoul on the same day and said, “We will provide citizens with fast and convenient transportation through underground railways and highways in downtown Seoul, and provide idle spaces to residential, commercial, cultural, and residential areas. We will place it as an ecological space,” he said.
The ‘metropolitan transportation pledge’ has three key elements: Δ underground urban railway in the metropolitan area, Δ underground construction of the Gyeongbu Expressway Yangjae-Hannam IC section, and Δ extension of the Shinbundang Line to the northwestern part of Seoul (Yongsan-Samsong). The plan is to invest 23 trillion won in budget to underground railways and highways, and to supply a total of 1.3 million new housing units, including 500,000 units in Seoul.
The range of undergroundization is the section between Dangjeong-Seoul Station on the Gyeongbu Line (32km, 19 stations), Guro-Dowon Station on the Gyeongin Line (22.8km, 19 stations), and the section between Cheongnyangni and Dobongsan on the Gyeongwon Line (13.5km, 11 stations). The total budget required was estimated at 23.855 trillion won. The above-ground space secured through undergroundization will be created as residential, work space, convenience facilities, and green ecosystem. The effect of creating new jobs is expected to be 200,000.

It is explained that the government’s financial burden will not be large if the necessary budget is met through the issuance of government bonds, etc. The insufficient financial resources of 5.7 trillion won will be covered by the government’s direct development project.
Candidate Yoon emphasized that the chronic congestion in the city center can be largely resolved through underground railways and highways, and the pain of commuting to and from new city residents can be alleviated.
He said, “We will also carry out a project to extend the northwestern part of the Shinbundang Line from Yongsan Station in Seoul through Eunpyeong-gu to Samsong in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do. promised
