Full Opening of 4-Lane Road Section from Jeongeup IC to Naejangsan Culture Plaza

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil]=Jeongeup City, Jeonbuk Province is making every effort to establish an SOC-based system to innovate local development conditions.

The city announced on the 2nd that it has completed and fully opened the 4-lane expansion construction of the remaining 1.0 km section from Sangdonggyo Bridge on Naejangcheonbyeon-ro to the connecting road of National Route 1, a pledge project of the 7th local government.

The expansion and paving construction of Naejangcheonbyeon-ro began in June last year, with a total project cost of 3.5 billion KRW invested until last month. The project expanded and opened a 0.7 km section that was previously not expanded from 2 lanes to 4 lanes between Sangdonggyo Bridge and the connecting road of National Route 1.

A 0.2 km section at the starting point of the road was expanded and paved by Yangwoo Construction through donation and acceptance in 2014, and a 0.1 km section at the end point was connected to the National Route 1 connecting road by the Iksan Regional Land Management Office in 2013.

Until now, the 2-lane bottleneck section caused traffic congestion and accident risks, but it is expected that the expansion and opening will help relieve traffic congestion and enable safer road use.

In particular, with the entire section from Jeongeup IC to Naejangsan Cultural Plaza opened as 4 lanes, it is expected to provide traffic convenience not only to citizens and tourists visiting Naejangsan National Park but also to users of the National Pension Service Training Center to be constructed in the future.

Improved accessibility to National Route 1 is also expected to greatly contribute to reducing logistics costs.

Mayor Yoo Jin-seop said, “I thank the citizens and tourists who cooperated with the road construction,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to expand SOC-based facilities that all citizens can feel and be satisfied with.”
