Gongeoptap Rotary
Gongeoptap Rotary (공업탑 로터리, Industrial Tower Rotary Intersection) is a traffic circle that the monument is located. Like the monument's number of pillars, it contains 5 exits (from North and counterclockwise Bongwol-ro, Munsu-ro, Duwang-ro, Suam-ro, Samsan-ro) and is egg-like asymmetric because of this.

List of bus stops named after Gongeoptap
There are 4 city bus stops and 2 intercity bus stops which use 'Gongeoptap' name around the rotary, listed in Bus Information System. The stops are:
