[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] On the 30th, Ham-an County in Gyeongnam announced that it held a completion ceremony for the expansion and paving construction of the park entrance road at the Ip-gok County Park parking lot.

About 30 officials attended the ceremony, including Cho Geun-je, the mayor of Ham-an County, Lee Kwang-seop, chairman of the Ham-an County Council, and Seo Moon-gil, CEO of Seongdo General Construction Co., Ltd., the construction company. The event proceeded with a progress report, presentation of plaques of appreciation and commendations to CEO Seo and the site manager, and a walking inspection of the construction section.

Ip-gok County Park is the only county park in the county and a tourist attraction in Ham-an visited by 300,000 tourists annually. However, the narrow entrance road has caused significant traffic inconvenience for visitors to the county park.

Accordingly, the county invested a total project cost of 4.65 billion KRW to expand and pave the 1.8 km section of the road from Ip-gok Samgeori (three-way intersection) at the entrance of Ip-gok County Park to in front of the Ip-gok Village Hall, starting construction in December 2018 and completing it in October this year. Sidewalk maintenance was also carried out.

Additionally, a new entrance bridge was constructed to facilitate smooth entry and exit to the park parking lot, along with the installation of landscape sculptures and lighting on the bridge.

Mayor Cho said, “The completion of this construction will alleviate traffic inconvenience for visitors, and the landscape lighting that allows visits at night will help make it a nighttime tourist attraction. We will continue to expand distinctive tourism development in the county’s tourist sites to contribute to regional development.”
