Notice of commencement of road usage - BEXCO tollgate in U-dong, Haeundae District ~ Centum City underground exit
The Gwangandaegyo access road, aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in the U-dong area of Haeundae District, is expected to open on December 22 at 5 PM. The city of Busan has officially announced the commencement of usage for the road connecting the demolition section of the BEXCO tollgate to the Centum City underground exit. It is anticipated to significantly help resolve traffic congestion issues.
This project focuses on building a road network connecting the Olympic Intersection in Haeundae District to the Jangsan area. The total length of this road is 560m, divided into a connecting bridge of 276m and a surface road of 284m. This route belongs to the arterial road No. 2-16 and sub-arterial road No. 1-207, functioning as a direct connection segment replacing the existing detour.
Once the road is opened, traffic among Haeundae, Dongnae, Centum City, the new town, and Songjeong areas is expected to be much smoother. In particular, the frequent traffic congestion around Centum City is anticipated to decrease, shortening access time to the Haeundae area.
The distribution of vehicle movement between Gwangandaegyo and Centum City is likely to reduce traffic congestion during peak commuting hours. These changes will have a positive effect on local residents.
The deep tunnel connecting Centum City and Mandeok is planned to open in January 2026. This is expected to significantly improve the traffic system around Haeundae Centum City.
The opening time specified in the announcement is an estimate and may change depending on the site conditions. Plans for viewing the drawings will be available from December 23 to 31, 2025, at the Road Construction Team 2 of Busan Construction Headquarters.
The opening of this new road is not just a simple road construction, but a significant infrastructure project aimed at innovating the traffic system of the Haeundae and Centum City areas. This road is expected to enhance the utility of the Gwangandaegyo while also serving as an important traffic infrastructure to meet the increasing demand for large-scale development and tourism in the Haeundae area.
