Gwangju Nam-gu Creates Eco-Friendly Pedestrian Bridge on Pochung-ro

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] An eco-friendly pedestrian bridge crossing Suchuncheon Stream will be constructed near Bitgoeul Nongchon Theme Park and the Craft Creation Village located in Yanggyeong-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae).

According to Nam-gu on the 20th, a pedestrian bridge crossing Pochung-ro, measuring 23.5 meters in length and 4 meters in width, is currently under construction near Bitgoeul Nongchon Theme Park on Suchuncheon Stream, with a project cost of approximately 500 million KRW.

This is to provide an efficient route for pedestrians, including tourists, as there is no connecting path between Bitgoeul Nongchon Theme Park and the Craft Creation Village.

The pedestrian bridge being constructed this time will be an eco-friendly bridge, considering the waterfront space, scenic views, and the ecological restoration characteristics of Suchuncheon Stream.

In particular, the construction is proceeding with a design method that harmonizes with the surrounding landscape without damaging it, by actively using neutral colors and wood tones, as well as recyclable aluminum steel materials.

Additionally, for a slow life that pursues relaxation away from daily routines in the quiet evening, a subtle single-color nighttime landscape will be applied instead of bright colors, and lighting sufficient for facial recognition will be installed under the bridge for pedestrian safety.

The Pochung-ro crossing pedestrian bridge is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year at the latest. Once the bridge is in place, visitors who have toured Bitgoeul Craft Creation Village will be able to cross this bridge and directly enter the grassy plaza of Bitgoeul Nongchon Theme Park.

A Nam-gu official said, “We will provide safety and convenience for pedestrians while maximizing the preservation of the Suchuncheon aquatic ecosystem and surrounding scenery, making the Yanggyeong-dong area another landmark.”
