청계천 복원에 따른 교통영향분석

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impacts of the restoration of Chongechun river by removing the 6km Chongechon Overpass and paved roadways above the river. The forecast was conducted under the condition that the restoration work would be over by 2011. The analysis results reveal that the traffic speed in the CBD area would be decreasing by 1.7-4.3km/h after the restoration. However, it is predicted that the regional impact is almost negligible. Among the four transportation alternatives, the mixture of the 2-lane oneway street system and light rail transit along the restored river bank is found the best one. The study concludes that the restoration project would lay the foundation of transforming the pollution ridden city Seoul into the new era of environment-friendly city in a near future.
