Replacement of LED Light Sources in Street Lamps in Dongjak-gu

From This Month, 780 Streetlights on Major Roads like Noryangjin-ro and Sangdo-ro Replaced with LED... LED Security Lights Replaced and Anti-Illegal Advertisement Pads Installed on Side Streets and Alleys in Noryangjin 2-dong Area

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) will replace streetlights on major roads in the area with LED streetlights starting this month to create a safe nighttime road environment.

High-efficiency, low-capacity LED lights maintain uniform illumination, providing excellent visibility for pedestrians and drivers, and reduce energy consumption by about 30-40% compared to conventional lighting.

Last year, the district installed a total of 1,480 units (1,333 replacements and 147 new installations), including 790 LED streetlights and pedestrian lights and 690 security lights.

First, by October, the district will invest approximately 422 million KRW to replace old streetlights on major roads in the area with eco-friendly LED lights.

The target areas are four roads covering about 6 km: ▲ Noryangjin-ro (Daebang Station to the south end of Hangang Bridge) ▲ Sangdo-ro (Jangseungbaegi Station Intersection to Bongcheon Hill) ▲ Maebong-ro (near Noryangjin Station to Sangdo Station) ▲ Manyang-ro (Nodeul Station to the entrance of Sangdo Tunnel).

Considering pedestrian traffic and road width, the district will replace a total of 780 lights with LED streetlights, including 400 units of 100W and 125W streetlights and 280 pedestrian lights.

Additionally, 124 LED lights will be installed in the Noryangjin 2-dong area by the end of this month.

Last year, residents of Noryangjin 2-dong personally inspected local back roads and alleys and proposed improvement suggestions. The district completed a preliminary survey of the installation areas by last month.

Reflecting residents' opinions, the district will replace old security light fixtures in the areas of ▲ Noryangjin-ro ▲ Jangseungbaegi-ro ▲ Deungyong-ro with 25W and 50W LED security light fixtures.

Along with this, 185 security light poles in Noryangjin 2-dong will be fitted with anti-illegal advertisement pads. These special pads are made of Flex material with a smooth surface that prevents advertisement attachment, effectively contributing to a clean urban environment.

Obanggyo, Director of the Road Management Division, said, “Through this project, we will create an environment where residents can feel safe walking at night,” and added, “We will continue to carefully address residents’ inconveniences in daily life and do our best to create a safe and pleasant road environment.”

The district will also invest over 800 million KRW by August to expand the school route and pave roads by reconstructing the retaining wall at Yeongdeungpo Middle School, creating a safe commuting environment.
