Expansion and Repaving of the 2.4km Section from Ogeumgyo to Huimanggyo
Yangcheon-gu Completes Expansion and Repaving of 2.4km Section Between Ogeumgyo and Huimanggyo with 500 Million Won from Resident Participation Budget... Plans to Secure Additional Funds to Maintain Entire 5.4km Section
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) has completed the expansion and repaving of the Anyangcheon pedestrian walkway.
Following a suggestion from a Yangcheon resident who wished for the Anyangcheon pedestrian walkway to be widened so that residents, including those with mobility challenges, could enjoy comfortable walks, the district selected this project as part of the 2020 resident participation budget.
Accordingly, the district invested 500 million KRW from the resident participation budget to create a pleasant riverside walking environment, commencing construction and completing the expansion and repaving of a 2.4 km section of the pedestrian walkway on the 10th.
The 2.4 km section between Ogeumgyo and Huimanggyo bridges, which was renovated this time, is a heavily used area and was part of the 5.4 km Anyangcheon pedestrian walkway managed by Yangcheon-gu that did not meet the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s ‘Sidewalk Installation and Management Guidelines’ requiring a minimum effective sidewalk width of 2 meters.
The district expanded and repaved the previously old and narrow pedestrian walkway (approximately 1.7 m wide) to about 2.5 m on the 10th.
Meanwhile, since 2018, the district has been promoting the expansion and repaving of the Anyangcheon pedestrian walkway, having renovated 0.7 km in 2018 and 0.9 km in 2019. Going forward, it plans to secure additional budgets to renovate the entire 5.4 km section managed by Yangcheon-gu.
