Andong-si, 'Sungohan Bubu-ae' Wolyeonggyo Night Lighting Remodel

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Andong City in Gyeongbuk announced on the 3rd that it will completely replace the nighttime lighting facilities of Wolyeonggyo Bridge by February next year.

This project, costing over 400 million won, is being carried out as part of a tourism content enhancement project following the designation of Andong as a tourism hub city. The lighting facilities of Wolyeonggyo Bridge have been in place for over 10 years, and the need for replacement has been steadily raised.

Wolyeonggyo Bridge, whose name means that the moonlight reflects beautifully on the river, is a 387-meter wooden fence bridge spanning Andong Lake in the areas of Sangadong and Seonggokdong, Andong.

Opened in 2003, this bridge embodies a poignant love story of a couple. It was built in the shape of a pair of straw shoes (mituri) to commemorate the noble love of a wife who plucked her hair to make a pair of mituri for her husband who passed away first.

An official from Andong City stated, "On weekends and holidays, the construction schedule will be adjusted to keep the lights on as much as possible, and the lights will be turned off sequentially by section." He added, "The handrail lighting inside Wolyeonggyo Bridge will remain on at night as before to minimize inconvenience to pedestrians."
