[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] At Jeodo Kwai River Bridge Skywalk in Gusan-myeon, Masanhappo-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam, which recently surpassed 2 million visitors, it is now possible to cross the bridge without wearing shoe covers.

Changwon City announced on the 26th that for visitor convenience, they have completed maintenance by installing shoe-cleaning mats instead of the existing shoe covers on both sides of the skywalk entrance and applying scratch-resistant film on the tempered glass floor.

The Jeodo Kwai River Bridge is a pedestrian-only bridge connecting Gubok-ri in Gusan-myeon and Jeodo, measuring 180 meters in length and 3 meters in width.

In 2017, the city removed concrete from an 80-meter section of the bridge and finished the floor with tempered glass to open the skywalk, offering a clear view of the sea below.

Until now, visitors had to wear shoe covers provided at the bridge entrance to enter. This was to prevent contamination of the glass floor, but some visitors complained about the inconvenience of putting them on and taking them off.

Accordingly, Changwon City laid shoe-cleaning mats on both sides of the bridge entrance so visitors can enter the skywalk without wearing shoe covers. They also applied protective film on the glass floor to prevent damage caused by walking.

Meanwhile, Changwon City also newly installed a photo zone on the right side of the entrance, featuring the red bridge and the blue sea as the background.
