The project was proposed to be organized as BTO type. Main planning and design issues were investigation of the Gimpo airport road and eco-bridge plans, and connection with the airport's Sky Park plans, as well as establishing a plan for cut and cover box and tunnel facilities within the airport to reduce construction costs.
