[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) is promoting a bicycle-only road construction project on a 1km section between Sajagyo and Jangjigyo (Songpadaero 6-gil) to ensure the safety of bicycle users and pedestrians.

Songpadaero 6-gil is a road connecting to Jangjicheon along the Seoul Metropolitan Area First Ring Expressway, where the sidewalk is narrow and bicycles and pedestrians share the path, posing a high risk of collisions.

Also, as it is included in the Songpa Dullegil trail connecting Seongnaecheon, Jangjicheon, Tancheon, and the Han River, the number of users has increased, raising the need for a dedicated bicycle road.

Accordingly, the district secured a budget of 1.9 billion KRW related to bicycle roads and plans to start construction of the bicycle-only road in the Sajagyo~Jangjigyo (Songpadaero 6-gil) section by October this year, so that both cyclists and pedestrians using the Songpa Dullegil can travel safely.

First, the bicycle-only road will be constructed over a total length of 1km and a width of 2.4m in the Sajagyo~Jangjigyo section. The lane width will be reduced and the bicycle road expanded to allow two-way traffic.

Additionally, a pedestrian path will be newly built next to the bicycle road over a total length of 550m and width of 1.5m in the Sajagyo~Jangjicheon culvert section. A pedestrian deck will be constructed over a 30m section on the river from the Jangjicheon culvert to the Jangjicheon entrance, connecting to the Jangjicheon pedestrian path.

Furthermore, at the intersection in front of Sajagyo, a new crosswalk will be installed, streetlights will be completely improved, and additional pedestrian lights will be installed to secure illumination.

Once the bicycle-only road is established on Songpadaero 6-gil, it will be linked with the Seoul City Bicycle Highway (CRT) project, creating a safe and comfortable bicycle network extending from Wirye District to Songpadaero and Jangjicheon. It is expected to promote the health of local residents who frequently use the Songpa Dullegil in the future.

Park Seong-su, Mayor of Songpa-gu, said, “This bicycle-only road construction project will be a great opportunity not only to enhance residents’ safety and convenience but also to promote bicycles as an eco-friendly mode of transportation.” He added, “We will continue to do our best to create a traffic environment where everyone can travel with peace of mind.”
