Dongjak-gu Dorimcheon Transformed with New Landscape Lighting

From Sunset to 11 PM This Month, Landscape Lighting On... Creating Dorimcheon You Want to Visit with Night Shelters, Photo Zones, Color Floodlights, and Rotating Gobo Lights Installed

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Lee Chang-woo) completed the nighttime landscape lighting improvement project along Dorimcheon last month, and with the easing of COVID-19 social distancing to level 1, full lighting will begin this month.

This project was promoted to provide residents with a pleasant waterfront cultural space by improving the dark and aging lighting of the Boramae Overpass, Guro Bridge, and other under-bridge pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths, as well as the plaza in the Dorimcheon area, which is frequently used by local residents.

At the end of September, the district improved the entire lighting along a 1.3 km section of Dorimcheon by installing LED security lights, creating and installing various attractions such as ▲nighttime resting areas and photo zones ▲colored floodlights on bridge piers ▲rotating gobo lights and laser lights at the waterfront plaza.

First, from under Shindaebang Station to the area near the Shindaebang Children's Center, two photo zones with wing-shaped and flower-shaped lights were installed where families, couples, and friends can take pictures together, along with 89 colored floodlights on bridge piers and rotating gobo lights. Near Munchang Elementary School, a nighttime resting area light measuring 6 meters wide and 3 meters high was newly installed on the wall to promote Dongjak.

Additionally, near the Dorimcheon waterfront plaza, a total of 32 landscape lights, including 28 rotating gobo lights and 4 laser lights, were installed to create lighting with natural images such as water and flowers, bringing life to the barren under-bridge area.

Meanwhile, for the safety of residents using the walking paths, 10 locations along Dorimcheon were equipped with fixed floor gobo lights spaced 120 meters apart to display safety messages such as no entry during rain and bicycle path warnings.

In addition to providing visual attractions, the district installed a total of 118 LED security lights along the Dorimcheon walking path and bicycle path to improve the average illuminance from 5 lx to 20?25 lx, and adjusted the color temperature to minimize glare for residents.

The Dorimcheon nighttime landscape lighting operates flexibly by season from sunset until 11 p.m., and turns off during early morning hours when pedestrian traffic is low to save energy.

Meanwhile, for the convenience of citizens using Dorimcheon, restrooms and drinking fountains will be installed, and wooden decks, fitness facilities, and flower beds will be maintained by December to enhance resident convenience.

Kim Sang-hoon, head of the Water Management Division, said, “We will continue to do our best to create a safe resting space and a pleasant waterfront cultural space through ongoing Dorimcheon improvement projects.”
