Gimhae City Council Adopts Resolution Urging the Construction of the Wide-Area Road between Chojung and Hwamyung

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 16th, the Gimhae City Council in Gyeongnam announced that it adopted the "Resolution Urging the Construction of the Wide-Area Road between Chojung and Hwamyung," which was proposed by Representative Councilor Choi Dong-seok, at the 1st plenary session of the 235th extraordinary meeting.

The resolution, jointly proposed by all 23 city council members, mentions that the wide-area road construction project between Chojung and Hwamyung, which is a core element for securing the transportation network in the Southeast Mega City, was agreed upon in a business agreement between Gimhae City and Busan City in 2003 but has been halted due to funding issues. It calls for expanded national road funding support to expedite completion.

The city council stated in the resolution, "Gimhae City divided the project into two sections for the construction of the wide-area road between Chojung and Hwamyung, completing the first section from Anmak to Hwamyung in 2012. However, due to difficulties in securing additional project funds, the second section from Chojung to Anmak has not even begun construction."

Furthermore, the city council emphasized, "Expanding the transportation and logistics network is the top priority for establishing the Southeast Mega City, so the completion of the Chojung-Hwamyung wide-area road can no longer be delayed." They urged, "Gyeongsangnam-do and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport should not rely solely on Gimhae City for the road construction project but should actively support the successful establishment of the Southeast Mega City through bold budgetary assistance."

The resolution adopted on this day will be delivered to related institutions including the National Assembly, the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Council, the Governor of Gyeongsangnam-do, and local governments nationwide.
