이번 용역은 철도분야 최상위계획인 ‘제5차 국가철도망 구축계획’에 신규 철도사업을 반영하고, 지난 5월 국토교통부에서 승인받은 ‘경상남도 도시철도 망 구축계획’에 반영된 도시철도 3개 노선의 사업 타당성을 검토해 최적 노선을 선정하는 것을 주요 골자로 하고 있다.
창원시는 2010년부터 경전선 KTX가 운행하고 있지만, 고속철도란 이름이 무색할 만큼 창원에서 서울까지 3시간 이상 소요되고, 도시 내 창원국가산단과 진해를 연결하는 진해선은 2015년 이후 여객 수송이 중단되는 등 철도교통이 열악한 상태다.
홍 시장은 민선 8기를 출범하면서 철도교통의 중요성을 인식하고 철도서비스 향상을 위해 행정력을 집중하고 있으며, 지난 1일 창원~수서간 SRT를 개통하는 등의 단기적인 성과를 거뒀다.
이에 창원시는 창원에서 수도권 간 이동시간 단축과 창원시 신성장 동력인 대규모 개발사업의 유기적인 연계를 위해 철도를 중심으로 교통망 개선을 추진하고 있다.
우선 ‘창원~동대구 간 고속철도’를 통해 수도권과의 이동시간을 현재 3시간에서 2시간대로 단축하고, ‘창원산업선’, ‘진해신항선’을 건설하여 대구국가산업단지부터 창원국가산단2.0~진해신항~가덕도 신공항을 연결하는 철도망을 구축해 철도물류축을 형성할 계획이다. 또한, ‘마산신항선’을 통해 마산항신항의 경쟁력을 높이고 부산도시철도 하단-녹산선을 진해까지 연장하는 ‘녹산-진해 광역철도’를 추진해 진해 동부지역의 인구 유입과 생활 여건을 개선해 나간다.
트램을 중심으로 도시 내 교통망 개선도 함께 추진해 나간다. 도시의 지속가능성을 확보하고 탄소중립 실현을 위해 ‘대중교통 중심’의 교통체계 전환은 시대적 과제인 만큼, 버스 단일 대중교통수단으로서의 한계점을 극복하고 트램 도입을 통해 도시재생과 도시미관을 정비해 나간다는 계획이다.
창원시 도시철도는 창원1호선 마산역~창원중앙역(L=15.82km), 창원2호선 창원역~진해역(L=19.28km), 창원3호선 월영광장~진해구청(L=33.23km) 등 총 3개 노선이 ‘경상남도 도시철도망 구축계획’에 반영되어 국토교통부로부터 승인을 받은 상태다.
창원시는 노선별로 경제적 타당성, 재무적 타당성, 지역균형발전 등을 종합적으로 검토하고 최적 노선을 선정해 내년에 예비타당성조사를 신청할 예정이다.
홍남표 창원특례시장은 “창원 중심의 트라이포트(Tri-Port)를 완성하기 위해 공항, 항만의 기반은 이미 마련되었고, 이제 이를 뒷받침할 철도망 구축만 남은 상태”라며 “철도 중심의 획기적인 교통망 개선을 통해 창원의 새 역사를 써 내려가겠다”고 말했다.

Changwon Special City, building a ‘city that grows by building a railway network’
Actively considering the introduction of trams to achieve carbon neutrality
On the 22nd, Changwon Special Mayor Hong Nam-pyo held a briefing session on the commencement of the “Changwon City Railway Network Basic Concept and Urban Railway Pre-Feasibility Study Service” for railway-centered transportation system reform in the 3rd conference room of City Hall and received reports on the progress.
This service reflects the new railway project in the '5th National Railway Network Construction Plan', the highest level plan in the railway sector, and projects for three urban railway lines reflected in the 'Gyeongsangnam-do Urban Railway Network Construction Plan' approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in May. The main goal is to review feasibility and select the optimal route.
Changwon City has been operating the Gyeongjeon Line KTX since 2010, but it takes more than 3 hours to travel from Changwon to Seoul, making its name as a high-speed rail meaningless, and the Jinhae Line, which connects the Changwon National Industrial Complex and Jinhae within the city, has stopped transporting passengers since 2015. Railway transportation is in poor condition.
With the launch of the 8th popularly elected mayor, Mayor Hong recognized the importance of rail transportation and focused his administrative power on improving rail services, achieving short-term results such as opening the SRT between Changwon and Suseo on the 1st.
In the future, a railway-centered metropolitan transportation network that connects 'Changwon National Industrial Complex 2.0', 'Jinhae New Port', and 'Gadeokdo New Airport', which are Changwon's new growth engines, must be well established to bring positive ripple effects from large-scale development projects to Changwon City. The importance of rail transportation is growing more and more.
Accordingly, Changwon City is promoting transportation network improvement centered on the railroad to shorten travel time between Changwon and the metropolitan area and to organically link large-scale development projects, which are the new growth engines of Changwon City.
First, the travel time with the metropolitan area will be shortened from the current 3 hours to 2 hours through the 'Changwon-Dongdaegu high-speed railway', and the 'Changwon Industrial Line' and 'Jinhae New Port Line' will be built to connect the Daegu National Industrial Complex to the Changwon National Industrial Complex 2.0 ~ We plan to build a railway network connecting Jinhae New Port and Gadeokdo New Airport to form a railway logistics axis. In addition, we will increase the competitiveness of Masan Port New Port through the ‘Masan New Port Line’ and promote the ‘Noksan-Jinhae Metropolitan Railway’, which will extend the Busan Urban Railway’s Hadan-Noksan Line to Jinhae, thereby improving population influx and living conditions in the eastern Jinhae region.
We will also pursue improvements to the city's transportation network, focusing on trams. In order to secure the sustainability of the city and achieve carbon neutrality, the transition to a 'public transportation-oriented' transportation system is a task of the times, so we will overcome the limitations of buses as the only means of public transportation and improve urban regeneration and urban aesthetics through the introduction of trams. is the plan.
Changwon City's urban railway has a total of 3 railway lines, including Changwon Line 1 Masan Station - Changwon Jungang Station (L = 15.82km), Changwon Line 2 Changwon Station - Jinhae Station (L = 19.28km), and Changwon Line 3 Wolyeong Square - Jinhae-gu Office (L = 33.23km). The new route has been reflected in the ‘Gyeongsangnam-do urban rail network construction plan’ and has received approval from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
Changwon City plans to comprehensively review the economic feasibility, financial feasibility, and balanced regional development for each route, select the optimal route, and apply for a preliminary feasibility study next year.
Changwon Special Mayor Hong Nam-pyo said, “To complete the Tri-Port in the center of Changwon, the foundation for the airport and port has already been laid, and now all that remains is to build a railway network to support it.” He added, “Through groundbreaking improvements in the transportation network centered on the railway, “I will write a new history for Changwon,” he said. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스경남 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
