Gwangju Urban Railway Line 2 Vehicle Depot Cultural Heritage Detailed Investigation Begins
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Gwangju Metropolitan City Urban Railway Construction Headquarters announced on the 17th that it has commenced a detailed excavation investigation following the final directive from the Cultural Heritage Administration, which stated that additional precise excavation is necessary based on the cultural heritage trial excavation survey results at the site of the vehicle depot in Yuchon-dong, Seo-gu, part of the Phase 1 construction section of Urban Railway Line 2.
The vehicle depot site for Urban Railway Line 2 is located within the artifact distribution area in Deokheung-dong, Seo-gu. Gwangju City conducted a cultural heritage surface survey in April 2014, and following the Cultural Heritage Administration's trial excavation recommendations, a trial excavation covering 10% of the entire site area was carried out from November last year until last month.
During the trial excavation, ditch-shaped relics presumed to be from the Three Kingdoms period were partially discovered, mainly in the central part of the site. Based on the final investigation results and the Cultural Heritage Administration's directive that additional detailed excavation is necessary for part of the vehicle depot site, this decision was made.
A representative from the Urban Railway Construction Headquarters stated, “The additional detailed excavation is expected to take about four months and is scheduled to be completed within the first half of this year. It is anticipated that there will be no disruption to the vehicle depot construction work planned to start in the second half of the year.”
