TK신공항 철도, 기재부서 예타사업 선정… 2조 6485억원 들여 65㎞ 신설

대구시는 대구·경북 신공항철도 사업이 기획재정부에서 2일 열린 재정사업평가위원회에서 예비타당성조사 대상 사업으로 선정됐다고 전했다.

신공항철도는 사업비 2조 6485억원(예타신청 기준)으로 대구∼TK 신공항∼의성까지 이어지는 광역급행 철도로 신공항 핵심 접근철도망이며, 경부선과 중앙선을 연결하는 중요 철도망 건설사업이다. 이 철도의 길이는 신설 구간이 65㎞이며 연결 부위까지 합하면 70.1㎞이다.

TK신공항 철도, 기재부서 예타사업 선정… 2조 6485억원 들여 65㎞ 신설

이 사업은 2021년 7월 제4차 국가철도망 구축계획에 반영된 지방권 광역철도 선도사업이며, 지난 1월과 3월 개최한 대통령 주재 민생토론회에서 발표한 ‘지방권 광역 급행철도 도입’의 일환으로 추진되는 후속 조치로서, 이번 기획재정부 심의에서 예타조사 대상 사업으로 최종 선정된 것이다. 이에 대구시는 TK신공항 개항에 맞춰 개통될 수 있도록 신속한 예타통과를 위해 만전을 기할 계획이다.

신공항철도는 최고속도 180㎞/h의 광역급행철도(GTX)급 차량이 투입될 예정이다. 신공항 철도가 개통되면 대구에서 신공항까지 30분 내 이동이 가능해지는 등 TK신공항에 빠르게 접근할 수 있는 교통망이 구축돼 신공항 활성화에 크게 기여하게 된다.

아울러, 달빛철도(대구∼광주), 경부선, 중앙선 등 여러 노선과 연계돼 대구·경북과 여러 지방 대도시권을 묶어주는 거대 남부경제권 구축 과 지역경제 발전에 획기적인 변화를 가져올 것으로 기대된다.

김대영 시 교통국장은 “예비타당성조사 결과에 따라 사업 추진 방향이 결정되는 만큼 본 사업이 최종 확정될 수 있도록 신속하고 적극적으로 대응할 계획”이라며 “국토부·기재부와 긴밀히 협의해 예비타당성조사를 조속히 통과할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠다”고 말했다.
