Jeongeup-si Completes Underground Wiring Project from Naejangho to Jogak Park

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk is preparing for a new leap forward through a four-season tourism infrastructure development project centered on Naejangsan, which boasts pristine natural scenery.

In particular, to establish Naejangsan as the premier tourist destination in Honam, various tourism and recreational facilities and spaces are being created around Naejangho, shaping it into a four-season tourist spot.

Naejangho is a lake located at the center of the Naejangsan Tourism Special Zone, where natural beauty and the aesthetic charm of ecological parks harmoniously blend.

However, there have been continuous criticisms that the beautiful scenery around Naejangho is being marred by utility poles and tangled overhead wires scattered throughout the area.

Accordingly, the city launched a full-scale underground wiring project in April to remove the utility poles, which were the blemish on Naejangsan tourism, and completed the construction on the 22nd.

The underground wiring project involves removing utility poles and communication poles and burying electrical and communication lines underground.

The city invested a total of 260 million KRW to conceal the traces of utility poles and wires along an approximately 250-meter section crossing between Naejangho and the Sculpture Park, thereby improving the natural landscape.

Mayor Yoo Jin-seop said, “By removing the blemishes through the underground wiring project, not only safety but also the more beautiful scenery around Naejangho can be fully enjoyed. We will continue to do our best in developing tourism products and building infrastructure to create an environment that attracts tourists.”
