Assemblyman Yongbin Lee Secures 500 Million KRW Special Grant for 'Disaster Safety Facility Reinforcement Project'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Representative Lee Yong-bin (The Democratic Party of Korea·Gwangju Gwangsan-gap) announced on the 5th that he secured 500 million won in special grants for disaster safety facility reinforcement projects.

The special grants secured this time are for the slope repair and reinforcement project of Okdonggyo Bridge and Bonryangdongseo Road in Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

Okdonggyo Bridge, completed in 1971, is a 50-year-old aging bridge, and a detailed safety inspection revealed that the main components of the bridge were weakened, requiring repair and reinforcement.

With the secured grants, it is expected that the safety of residents passing through Okdonggyo Bridge will be ensured and a safe road environment will be provided.

Bonryangdongseo Road is a key traffic point crossing Bonryang-dong and is frequently used by residents, but due to soil slope erosion and rockfall risks, there was concern about casualties in case of collapse.

Especially, due to recent frequent heavy rains, repair and reinforcement are necessary to prevent disasters to road facilities such as steep slopes.

Representative Lee Yong-bin said, “With the special grants secured this time, we were able to ensure the safety of the residents from disasters and eliminate risk factors,” and added, “I will always do my best to secure budgets to solve local issues so that a safe environment for Gwangsan residents can be created.”
