Preface
Consistent effort how to efficiently and safely forward the cargo between Hangang River and West Sea had been made from the generation to the generation. First trial was made in the King Gojeong in Joseon Dynasty about 800 years ago which they were transporting most nationwide taxed goods from various places to the Gyeongchang Warehouse in Mapo, Seoul via Sondeulmok in Ganghwa Island and Yeomha. But these two areas were always raging tied area and troubled area, the one is hardest sailing route and the other normally too shallow river to sail under normal tied condtions so that only possible to sail the vessel under high tied. The Korea Government decided to directly connect between Wontungui Hyun Village in Incheon City and Gulpocheon Creek in Gimpo City in order to avoid these two troubled areas. But they failed to complete the canal since they could not make a canal at hardest rock area for about 400m. Thereafter they were randomly trying to construct the canal but continuously failed due to insufficient technology or infeasible project or strong resist from the environmental movement group. The Government eventually took a determination to perform this canal project under political nation project which could directly start to move under the Government project in 2009 and complete the project in 2011.
