‘부산·양산·울산 광역철도’는 총연장 47.4km의, 부산(노포)에서 양산(웅상)을 거쳐 경부고속선 울산역(언양)까지 총 11개 정거장을 연결하는 철도 노선으로 2조 5,475억 원이 투입될 예정이다.
양산 웅상지역에는 총 3개 정거장이 신설되며, 경전철(AGT-철제차륜) 차량이 전 구간(노포~KTX 울산역)을 45분(35회/일) 가량 운행할 계획이다.
이 노선이 완공되면 부산 1호선, 양산선, 울산 1호선, 정관선 등 4개 도시철도와 연계를 통해 웅상지역의 광역 접근성은 물론, 도내 산업·물류·교통축 개선과 균형발전에 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
그간 경남도는 부산시, 울산시와 초광역 경제동맹을 통해 광역철도 조기구축 공동건의문을 기획재정부와 국토교통부에 전달하는 등 중앙부처에 지속적으로 건의했으며, 재정사업평가 분과위원회에 참석해 예타 통과를 위한 사업의 필요성과 당위성을 적극적으로 설명했다.
경남도의회는 ‘경부울 광역철도 조기구축 대정부 건의안’을 발의했고, 지역 국회의원도 공동기자회견과 특별법 발의 등으로 힘을 보탠 결과 예비타당성조사가 마침내 통과하게 됐다.
대통령 공약인 5극·3특 국가균형발전, 부울경 30분대 생활권 실현의 핵심사업인 만큼 지방시대위원장도 관계 부처와 지방정부, 국회와 협력해 차질 없이 추진되도록 힘을 싣겠다고 했다.
향후 국토교통부에서 타당성조사 및 기본계획 용역을 발주하고, 최종 낙찰자를 선정해 올해 하반기에 착수할 것으로 예상된다.
기본계획 단계에서는 국가철도공단, 중앙부처·지자체, 전문가 의견을 수렴하고, 측량 및 지반조사, 전략환경영향평가, 재해영향성검토 등을 종합적으로 검토해 노선과 역사 위치 등을 결정한다. 이 단계에서 기획재정부와 협의해 총사업비를 최종 확정하며, 이후 기본 및 실시설계를 거쳐 착공하게 된다.
한편, 경남이 중심이 되는 ‘동남권 순환 광역철도’는 김해(진영)에서 양산(북정,물금)을 거쳐 경부고속선 울산역까지 연결하는 노선이다. 지난해 12월 예비타당성조사에 착수했으며, 부울경이 힘을 합쳐 통과 될 수 있도록 총력을 기울일 예정이다.
이날 브리핑에서 박완수 도지사는 “부산‧양산‧울산 광역철도는 부울경을 하나의 생활권으로 묶는 초광역 경제동맹 1호 핵심사업으로, 경남·부산·울산이 함께 이룬 공동 성과”라며 “특히 양산 웅상지역 주민들의 출퇴근과 통학, 병원 이용 등 일상 편의가 크게 향상될 것”이라고 밝혔다.
이어 “이번 사업은 수도권에 대응할 동남권 광역 경제권의 시작점이자, 시도민 교통 불편 해소의 전환점이 될 것”이라며 “국토교통부와 국가철도공단 등 관계기관과 긴밀히 협력해 조기 착공이 이뤄지도록 최선을 다하겠다”고 말했다.

Gyeongnam Province, ‘Busan-Yangsan-Ulsan Metropolitan Railway’ Preliminary Feasibility Study Passed
Gyeongnam-Busan-Ulsan 30-minute Living Area Railroad Network Completed
On the 10th, Gyeongnam Province announced that the Ministry of Strategy and Finance’s Financial Project Evaluation Committee had decided to pass the preliminary feasibility study for the ‘Busan-Yangsan-Ulsan Metropolitan Railway’ and that it would do its utmost to quickly promote the first step toward administrative integration that unites Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam as a single living area, as well as the first core project of the super-wide economic alliance.
The ‘Busan-Yangsan-Ulsan Metropolitan Railway’ is a railway line with a total length of 47.4 km that connects a total of 11 stations from Busan (Nopo) to Yangsan (Ungsang) to Ulsan Station (Eonyang) on the Gyeongbu High-Speed Line, and 2.5475 trillion won is expected to be invested.
A total of three stations will be newly built in the Yangsan Ungsang area, and light rail (AGT-steel wheels) vehicles are planned to run the entire section (Nopo-KTX Ulsan Station) for approximately 45 minutes (35 times/day).
When this line is completed, it is expected to greatly contribute to the improvement of the metropolitan accessibility of the Ungsang area as well as the improvement of the industry, logistics, and transportation axes in the province and balanced development through connections with four urban railways, including Busan Line 1, Yangsan Line, Ulsan Line 1, and Jeonggwan Line.
In the meantime, Gyeongnam Province has continuously made suggestions to central government agencies, such as delivering a joint proposal for the early construction of a metropolitan railway to the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport through the Super-Wide Area Economic Alliance with Busan City and Ulsan City, and actively explained the necessity and legitimacy of the project for the preliminary feasibility study by attending the Financial Project Evaluation Subcommittee.
The Gyeongnam Provincial Council proposed a ‘Proposal to the Government for Early Construction of the Gyeongbu-Ulsan Metropolitan Railway’, and local National Assembly members also supported the project through joint press conferences and special law proposals, resulting in the final passage of the preliminary feasibility study.
As this is a key project for the President’s pledge of 5-pole, 3-special balanced national development and the realization of a 30-minute living area between Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam, the local council chairman also said that he would cooperate with relevant ministries, local governments, and the National Assembly to ensure smooth progress.
In the future, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport is expected to commission a feasibility study and basic plan service, select the final successful bidder, and begin work in the second half of this year.
In the basic plan stage, opinions from the National Railroad Corporation, central government agencies, local governments, and experts are collected, and comprehensive reviews such as surveying and ground investigation, strategic environmental impact assessment, and disaster impact review are conducted to determine the route and station locations. At this stage, the total project cost is finalized through consultation with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, and construction begins after basic and detailed designs.
Meanwhile, the 'Southeastern Circular Metropolitan Railway' centered around Gyeongnam is a route that connects Gimhae (Jinyeong) to Yangsan (Bukjeong, Mulgeum) and Ulsan Station on the Gyeongbu High-Speed Line. The preliminary feasibility study began in December of last year, and Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongsang Province will make every effort to pass it by joining forces.
In the briefing that day, Governor Park Wan-soo said, "The Busan-Yangsan-Ulsan Metropolitan Railway is the first core project of the super-metropolitan economic alliance that unites Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongsang Province as a single living area, and it is a joint achievement of Gyeongnam, Busan, and Ulsan." He added, "In particular, the daily convenience of residents of the Yangsan Ungsang area, such as commuting to and from work, school, and hospital use, will be greatly improved."
He continued, “This project will be the starting point of the southeastern region’s metropolitan economic zone that will compete with the metropolitan area, and a turning point in resolving transportation inconveniences for citizens of the city.” He added, “We will do our best to ensure early commencement of construction by closely cooperating with related organizations such as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Railroad Corporation.” <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스경남 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
