Yongin and Hwaseong plan to build a new four-lane road linking their semiconductor hubs, with the project estimated to cost about 200 billion won.

Yongin Mayor Lee Sang-il said the two cities would expand their transport networks so they could “develop together as one shared living zone” as Yongin and Hwaseong emerge as centers of the semiconductor industry.

We will expand the transport networks of Yongin and Hwaseong, which are developing as core areas of the semiconductor industry, so that the two cities can develop together as one shared living zone.

· Lee Sang-ilThe Yongin mayor described the purpose of the planned transport expansion.

The 3.96-kilometer road will connect Wanjang-ri in Namsa-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin, with Sindong in Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong. The route is intended to provide the shortest connection between Yongin’s advanced system semiconductor national industrial complex in Idong and Namsa-eup and Dongtan.

Yongin City said its council approved the consent proposal for a cooperation agreement on linked transport development at its second plenary session on the 8th. The two cities plan to sign the agreement at Namsa Library in Cheoin-gu on October 19 and begin pursuing the road project. Lee said the new road would give residents another travel option and make freight flows more efficient.

Once the new road opens, citizens will have a new route option, improving transport convenience and making logistics flows smoother.
