Imsil-gun Accelerates Construction Project of Suspension Bridge at Okjeongho Bungeo Island

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 20th that the suspension bridge construction project for access to Bungeo Island in Okjeongho is underway smoothly.

The suspension bridge construction project, created as part of the eastern region development project of Jeonbuk Province, involves a total budget of 9.2 billion KRW, with a total length of 410m and a width of 1.5m, and is planned to be completed by the end of this year.

Once the suspension bridge is completed, tourists will be able to easily access Bungeo Island, which has been developed as a four-season garden.

Bungeo Island features a visitor information center, a lawn yard, a forest library, a wind bath area, a sky-gazing rest area, a hillside flower garden, a gallery garden, flower beds, and over 50 species of seasonal trees planted.

With the construction of the Bungeo Island suspension bridge, it is expected that tourists visiting Okjeongho will be able to enjoy the beautiful trees and flowers throughout all four seasons.

The Yosan Park area will also be transformed into a healing tourist destination where visitors can enjoy comfortable rest and fun leisure activities simultaneously, with facilities such as a skywalk, plaza, photo zones, and deck paths.

The county will also create a parking lot with a capacity of about 700 vehicles to provide convenience for the rapidly increasing number of tourists visiting Okjeongho every year.

County Governor Sim Min said, “The day is not far when anyone can come and go to the beloved Bungeo Island via the suspension bridge,” adding, “We will create Imsil, the top tourist destination, by developing a tourist site equipped with comfortable leisure facilities where people can spend relaxing time in the Yosan Park area and increase residents' income.”
