Gwangju Dong-gu Initiates Road Maintenance to Revitalize Art Street

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (Mayor Im Taek) is undertaking a major road maintenance project to revitalize the Art Street.

On the 15th, Dong-gu announced that it plans to carry out road maintenance work on the section from Dongbu Police Station to Jungang-ro Art Street with a total project cost of 500 million KRW, including ▲repairing the joints of crushed stone in the center lane of the road ▲replacing the clay blocks on both sidewalks with granite slabs ▲and organizing various pedestrian environment obstacles.

Art Street is adjacent to Chungjang-ro and Geumnam-ro, making it a representative cultural and artistic street in Gwangju.

However, since 2012, frequent damages and repairs have raised the continuous need for fundamental maintenance.

Accordingly, Dong-gu secured a budget of 500 million KRW after making every effort to improve the pleasant urban environment and the pedestrian environment for tourists and citizens visiting Art Street.

So far, they have completed the establishment of the Art Street maintenance plan (draft) through ▲on-site basic surveys ▲inspection of excellent maintenance cases in other regions ▲and meetings with local residents and the Art Street Prosperity Association.

Im Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, “Through this road maintenance of Art Street, it will be reborn as a representative street of Dong-gu that citizens visit again,” and added, “We hope that citizens will visit the renewed Art Street and have an opportunity to enjoy culture and arts in their daily lives.”
