[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 3rd that the 'Amsa Vehicle Access Ramp,' connecting Gwangnaru Hangang Park and the Amsa-dong area, will open from 10 a.m. on the 4th.

Gwangnaru Hangang Park experienced inconveniences such as parking congestion and delayed entry and exit when vehicle users surged on weekends or during the summer, due to a shortage of vehicle access ramps. In particular, to enter and exit the residential area of Amsa-dong adjacent to the park, only the Jjeumeun-gil ramp near Gwangjin Bridge could be used, causing significant delays in vehicle exit.

To improve this, the Seoul Hangang Project Headquarters began construction of a new ramp in November 2017 and completed a vehicle-only access ramp with a width of 5 meters and a connecting length of 73 meters. The project cost a total of 7.6 billion KRW, including 5.8 billion KRW in national funds.

In September of last year, the adjacent Amsa pedestrian access ramp was fully remodeled to provide a pleasant and safe environment for citizens visiting Hangang Park on foot.

The city expects that once the green path 'Amsa Chorok-gil,' connecting the Amsa historic site and Hangang Park, is completed in 2022, Gwangnaru Hangang Park will be reborn as an urban historical, cultural, and ecological space accessible to everyone.

Yang Don-wook, Director of the Flood Control Division at the Seoul Hangang Project Headquarters, said, "With the opening of the Amsa Vehicle Access Ramp, it will be more convenient for citizens to use Gwangnaru Hangang Park," adding, "We will continue to improve access facilities to Hangang Park."
