더불어민주당 김교흥 국회의원(인천 서구갑, 국토교통위원회)은 22일, “서울지하철 2호선 청라 연장 사업이 ‘제4차 국가철도망구축계획’ 공청회에서 추가검토사업으로 반영됐다”고 밝혔다.
서울지하철 2호선 청라 연장 사업은 홍대입구역에서 출발해 부천대장을 거쳐 청라국제도시까지 연결하는 노선이다.
홍대입구~부천원종 사업은 지난 2016년 수립된 ‘제3차 국가철도망 구축계획’에 반영됐고, 현재 KDI에서 민자 적격성조사가 진행 중에 있다.
부천대장지구가 3기 신도시로 지정되면서 홍대입구에서 부천원종까지였던 노선을 부천대장까지 연장하는 것으로 검토 중에 있으며, 이번 제4차 국가철도망구축계획 공청회에서 청라국제도시까지 연장하는 것으로 반영됐다.
다만 선행사업인 홍대입구~부천원종 사업이 아직 확정되지 않았기 때문에 추가검토사업으로 반영하되, 부천대장~청라국제도시 사업은 대장홍대 사업이 확정 된 후 관계 지자체 및 민간사업자 등 협의를 거쳐 최적대안으로 추진하는 것으로 부대의견을 넣었다. 추가검토 사업에 최적 대안으로 추진한다는 부대의견이 들어가는 것은 매우 이례적인 일이다.
김교흥 의원은 그동안 국토교통부 장관을 비롯해 제2차관, 대도시권 광역교통위원장, 철도국장, 철도정책과장 등 국토부 관계자들과 수시로 만나 사업의 필요성을 전달해왔다.
예산의 핵심 키를 쥐고 있는 기재부 차관을 비롯해 국무조정실장과도 적극적으로 소통하며 설득해온 결실로 평가되고 있다.
이날 공청회 이후 국토교통부는 관계기관 협의와 국토계획평가, 철도산업위원회 심의 등을 거쳐 올해 6월 중 ‘제4차 국가철도망구축계획’을 확정지을 예정이다.
김교흥 의원은 “서울2호선 청라연장 사업을 제4차 국가철도망구축계획에 최종 반영하고, 조속히 추진할 수 있도록 최선을 다 하겠다”고 밝혔다. hpf21@naver.com

Kim Gyo-heung, “Seoul Subway Line 2 Cheongna Extension, Reflecting Additional Projects at the 4th National Rail Network Construction Plan Public Hearing”
Hongik University Entrance (Kachisan) ~ Bucheon Daejang ~ Cheongna
-After confirming the preceding route, Hongik University Entrance ~ Bucheon Daejang Project, the best alternative is to be promoted.
In addition, Democratic Party member Kim Gyo-heung (Incheon Seo Gu-gap, National Land Transportation Committee) said on the 22nd that “The Seoul Subway Line 2 Cheongna extension project was reflected as an additional review project at the “4th National Rail Network Construction Plan” public hearing.”
The Seoul Subway Line 2 Cheongna Extension Project starts from Hongik University Station and connects to the Cheongna International City through Bucheon Daejang.
The Hongik Univ.~Bucheonwonjong project was reflected in the “3rd National Rail Network Construction Plan” established in 2016, and KDI is currently conducting a private-private eligibility study.
As Bucheon Daejang District was designated as the 3rd new city, the route from Hongik University entrance to Bucheon Wonjong is under consideration to be extended to Bucheon Daejang, and the 4th National Rail Network Construction Plan public hearing was reflected in the extension to Cheongna International City.
However, since the preceding project, Hongik University Entrance to Bucheon Wonjong, has not yet been confirmed, it is reflected as an additional review project, but the Bucheon Daejang-Cheongna International City project is the best alternative after consultation with the relevant local governments and private businesses after the Daejang Hongdae project is confirmed. Unit opinion was put in as a promotion. It is very unusual for the additional opinion that the additional review project is promoted as an optimal alternative.
Rep. Kim Gyo-heung has met with officials from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport from time to time, including the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the second vice minister, the chairman of the metropolitan area transportation committee, the railroad bureau, and the railroad policy manager.
It is evaluated as the fruit of being persuaded by actively communicating with the head of the State Affairs Coordination Office as well as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who holds the key to the budget.
After the public hearing on that day, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to finalize the '4th National Rail Network Construction Plan' in June of this year after consultation with related organizations, evaluation of the national land plan, and deliberation by the Railway Industry Committee.
Rep. Kim Gyo-heung said, "We will do our best to reflect the final construction of the Seoul Line 2 Cheongna Extension Project in the 4th National Railroad Network Construction Plan and promote it as soon as possible." hpf21@naver.com
