[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The first phase of the ‘Gapcheon Riverside Mulbit-gil Development Project’ in Daejeon is set to begin. On the 31st, according to Daejeon City, the project will be carried out by investing about 2 billion KRW of city funds to install nighttime landscape lighting on the bridges connecting Daedeok Bridge and Dunsan Bridge and along a 1.2 km riverside section.

The project is divided into two phases: Phase 1 covers a 1.6 km section along both banks of the riverside from the (tentatively named) 2nd Expo Bridge to Dunsan Bridge, and Phase 2 covers a 0.8 km section along both banks from Daedeok Bridge to the 2nd Expo Bridge. Construction is scheduled to be completed by June next year.

The city plans to create an image of a cutting-edge science city by installing fine dust notification lights on the sides of the bridge structures and nighttime landscape lighting along the Gapcheon riverside. The nighttime lighting will feature smart street lamps that can play music and automatically adjust brightness.

In particular, the landscape lighting installed on the sides of the bridges will change color according to fine dust concentration, serving both to enhance the nighttime scenery and to inform citizens about fine dust levels.

Additionally, trick art and augmented reality (AR) installations will be placed under the bridges to provide citizens with small moments of fun and enjoyment during their walks.

Earlier, the city selected the electrical and telecommunications construction company for the Gapcheon Riverside Mulbit-gil Development Project at the end of this month.
