해남읍~솔라시도 전용도로 구축 “AI·에너지 수도 직행한다”

subject: [Summary: Transportation Infrastructure Development for Haenam County's Smart City Development] Haenam County is actively working on expanding its transportation network to support the development of the region as a smart city and AI hub. The county is focusing on the construction of a dedicated roadway between Haenam Town and Solara Smart City, which will provide direct access in approximately 12 minutes. This 18.6 km route is estimated to cost around 75 billion won. In addition to this project, Haenam County is also working on securing a KTX high-speed rail connection to the South Jeolla region. The 'Seoul (via Haenam and Wando) - Jeju High-Speed Rail Attraction National Assembly Forum' was held to promote this connection. This would link the Gwangju region with Haenam, enabling travel to Seoul and Gwangju without transfers. The Gwangju-Haenam high-speed rail project, which passed the preliminary feasibility study last year, is currently undergoing a feasibility study by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. The project aims for groundbreaking in 2028 and completion in 2034. Furthermore, Haenam County is also pushing for the extension of the high-speed rail to Hado and Namhae, as well as the addition of a Daeheungsa IC. The county is also proposing a high-speed rail connection between Gwangju and Solara Smart City, which would significantly improve accessibility to Haenam. Additional projects include the National Route 77 connection project, which will connect Haenam and Sinan through a 2.7 km undersea tunnel, and the expansion of local roads. The Haenam Town to Daeheungsa Road expansion project is underway, with an estimated completion date of May 2028 and a total project cost of 245.3 billion won. Haenam County is actively pursuing these projects to improve accessibility and provide a better living environment for its residents. These developments are expected to contribute significantly to the local economy, with the National AI Computing Center and LS Group's offshore wind power base alone estimated to have an investment of 3 trillion won and create over 30,000 jobs. The county aims to capitalize on these projects' economic benefits by improving living conditions and contributing to the overall economic revitalization of Haenam County.
