Jeonju City Asks for Name Suggestions for Bridge Connecting Hyocheon District and Samcheon-dong

Public Contest for Samcheon Overpass Bridge (Tentative) and Neighborhood Park in Hyocheon District until the 14th

Expecting Names Reflecting Symbolism and Historical-Cultural Characteristics through Citizen Ideas

[Jeonju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Tae-in] Jeonju City has decided to name the bridge connecting Hyocheon District and Samcheon-dong through a public contest.

According to Jeonju City on the 3rd, a naming contest will be held until the 14th to name the Samcheon Transversal Bridge (tentative name), which connects Hyocheon District Rivercless in Hyoja-dong and the riverside park in Samcheon-dong, in a way that reflects the symbolic image of the region and its historical and cultural characteristics.

The "Samcheon Transversal Bridge Construction Project" is a project to install a bridge 126 meters long, 36 to 43 meters wide, with six lanes in both directions, by April next year, in preparation for surrounding road conditions and expected traffic volume. The bridge will feature a 9.5-meter-wide plaza-style sidewalk on the south side and a 5.5-meter-wide pedestrian path on the north side.

In addition, the city plans to rename Mokkoji Park, a neighborhood park created within the Hyocheon District, through this naming contest.

The naming contest is open to anyone regardless of their place of residence, and participants can download the contest proposal form from the Jeonju City website, fill in the proposed name, and submit it via email.

Submitted proposals will be reviewed, and the results will be individually notified on the 18th of next month. The selected name proposer will receive an Onnuri gift certificate worth 100,000 won as a prize.

Park Young-bong, head of the New Town Project Division of Jeonju City, said, "We will strive to make the bridge not just a passage connecting Hyocheon District and the Wansan Fire Station area in Samcheon-dong, but also a place for rest, culture, and performances for citizens in the western area."
