[real estate] Suseo-Gwangju Double Line Railway on the verge of collapse

Concerns about "Musan" are growing as Sucson (Sucseo Gwangju Double Line Railway) has been delayed due to civil complaints.

If the civil complaint is not resolved and is canceled, enormous damage to the region is expected. Sugwang-seon, which is being promoted with the goal of completion in 2030, is a national project to build an extension of 19.4km from Suseo Station to Moran Station to Gwangju Station. It is a key route connecting the Gyeonggang Line (Pangyo-Yeoju) and the Jungbu Inland Line (Bubal-Chungju) to Yeoju-Seowonju, followed by the Southern Inland Line and Gangneung Line. By connecting Suseo, the Gangnam area of Seoul, to major high-speed arterial networks, access to the metropolitan area can be improved and transportation convenience can be greatly improved.

However, this hydroponic project is on the verge of collapse. Sunlight was included in the 3rd National Railway Network Construction Plan in 2016, completed a preliminary feasibility study in July 2019, announced the basic plan in February 2023, and started the implementation design from 2023 to 2024. The goal was to start construction by February 2025 and open in 2030. However, residents' complaints have begun in earnest, and the license has been delayed without promise until now.

The biggest complaint is that of an apartment located in Jagok-dong, Seoul, which is the section of the second section. It is claimed that the sunlight invades the boundaries of the apartment complex. Residents are reportedly demanding a change of route, saying that the risk of vibration, noise, and ground subsidence could increase as the sunlight passes adjacent to the apartment complex.

The National Railroad Corporation explained to the residents that the line does not pass directly under the apartment, and that the tunnel excavation method should also be constructed with safety-considered methods such as safe vibration-free excavation, but residents continue to protest.

The Suseo-Gwangju Line is a project in which full state finances are invested, and it has been confirmed that if the route design is changed, the route extension and construction cost will increase, making it unclear whether it will be promoted during the feasibility review. The biggest problem is that if an alternative route is selected, the water light will be split from the SRT Suseo Station, and the transit center will not be able to perform its original role.

Some say that construction of some sections except for civil service areas should be started first, but if the civil complaint is not resolved, the construction of Suseo Station in District 1, which is the starting station, cannot be carried out. Suseo Station will have separate tracks for the round, inspection and maintenance facilities, control facilities for signal control, and business establishments, as long as there are no such essential facilities, it is impossible to open the railway even if some sections are started.

A real estate official who spoke to this newspaper by phone said, "If the sunlight is canceled due to civil complaints, it is impossible to develop a complex of transfer centers at Suseo Station as well as Shinsegae Department Store, which was highly anticipated by local residents," adding, "If the sunlight is culturalized, the development plan of the entire region will collapse like a domino, and the value of real estate already reflected in the entire region will inevitably fall significantly."
