[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongjak-gu (Mayor Changwoo Lee) is replacing the old streetlights on major roads in the area, Nambusunhwan-ro and Hyeonchung-ro, with LED lights that provide better nighttime visibility to improve the pedestrian environment for residents.

The high-efficiency, low-capacity LED lights maintain uniform illumination, offering excellent visibility for pedestrians and drivers, and reduce energy consumption by approximately 30-40% compared to conventional lighting.

First, on Nambusunhwan-ro (Sadang Station Intersection to Kkachigogae), ▲40 old streetlights will be removed ▲38 new streetlights installed ▲41 pedestrian lights ▲46 streetlight fixtures will be replaced with LED lighting. On Hyeonchung-ro (south end of Hangang Bridge to Isu Intersection), ▲214 streetlight fixtures ▲99 pedestrian lights will be converted to LED lighting.

This project will officially begin next month, with Hyeonchung-ro scheduled for completion in the first half of the year and Nambusunhwan-ro by the end of October.

Since 2017, the district has been promoting a streetlight replacement project and has replaced approximately 60% of the streetlights in the area, totaling 3,686 LED lights to date.

Last year, a total of 746 LED streetlights were newly installed, including 469 streetlights and 277 pedestrian lights along Noryangjin-ro (Daebang Station to south end of Hangang Bridge), Sangdo-ro (Jangseungbaegi Station Intersection to Bongcheon Hill), Yangnyeong-ro (south end of Hangang Bridge to Sangdo Station), and Daerim-ro (Sindaebang Station to Daerim Intersection).

For more detailed information about the project, please contact the Road Management Division of Dongjak-gu Office.

Baek Won-gi, Director of the Road Management Division, said, “Through this project, we will create a safe pedestrian environment even at night, and we will do our best to replace all streetlights in the area with LED lighting by 2023.”
