16 Billion KRW Secured for Sewer Pipeline Improvement Construction on Gucheonmyeon-ro, Gangdong-gu

Improvement Construction of Sewage Pipeline from Gucheonmyeon-ro 276 to 349... 1244m Improvement Project... Construction Started in March 2021, Completion Targeted for November... Ensuring Residents' Safety

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) announced that it has secured 1.6 billion KRW in city funds for the remaining section of the "Cheonho-dong Gucheonmyeon-ro Old Sewer Pipeline Improvement Project," which aims to improve and repair the sewer boxes on Gucheonmyeon-ro where sidewalk subsidence complaints frequently occur.

Gucheonmyeon-ro is a section where frequent complaints about sidewalk subsidence arise due to the aging sewer boxes buried under the sidewalks, but due to insufficient project budget, emergency repairs have been relied upon.

However, with the secured city budget of 1.6 billion KRW this year, it is expected that sewer pipeline improvements can be completed for the remaining 1,244 meters out of the total 1,835 meters of the Cheonho-dong Gucheonmyeon-ro old sewer pipeline improvement project section.

The project started in March this year and aims for completion in November. In particular, for the section (L=395m) linked to the Gucheonmyeon-ro "Walkable Street" creation project, pre-construction will be carried out to minimize inconvenience to residents caused by overlapping construction.

Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, "We ask for your understanding and cooperation despite the inconvenience during the construction period so that we can create a safer Gangdong," and added, "We will continue to maintain the sewer pipelines to make Gangdong free from flood damage and safety accidents, doing our best to ensure the safety of residents."
