Gurye-gun Renovates Market Road on the 5th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 4th that it is improving the pedestrian environment around the Gurye 5-day Market and the permanent market with an investment of 2 billion won.

The pedestrian environment improvement project, which began in 2018, is showing concrete results. The pavement on the access road from Namho Supermarket to the 5-day Market and the main road of the 5-day Market has been completed, making it look sophisticated and bright.

The circular patterns painted on the roadway made the narrow road feel more open, and the pedestrian paths decorated with vivid colors ensured pedestrian safety and brightened the street atmosphere.

The section from the 5-day Market to Greestel has newly created pedestrian paths separated from the roadway. Streetlights were newly installed with colored poles that harmonize with the surrounding buildings.

The safe pedestrian environment project is a project promoted to improve the streetscape and ensure pedestrian safety. The project area is around the 5-day Market and the permanent market. The current progress rate is about 60%, and it is planned to be completed by October this year.

A county official said, “Once several projects, including the undergrounding of power lines, urban regeneration projects, and safe pedestrian environment projects, which are being focused on during the 7th elected administration, are completed, the landscape of Gurye-eup will change dramatically. We expect that the number of tourists visiting the traditional market will also increase, revitalizing the local economy.”
