[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun (Governor Yu Gisang) announced on the 29th that it officially opened the 3.5 km "Historical and Cultural Tourism Site Connection Road" linking Wolgok-ri in Gochang-eup and Banryong-ri in Sillim-myeon.

The Historical and Cultural Tourism Site Connection Road has been promoted since 2014 with a total project cost of 13.8 billion KRW to improve accessibility by linking major historical and cultural tourist sites in the county such as Gochang Eupseong Fortress, Seokjeong Hot Springs, and Dolmen Historic Sites.

The Historical and Cultural Tourism Site Connection Road (4.7 km) is divided into two routes, and the 3.5 km section from Wolgok-ri, Gochang-eup to Banryong-ri, Sillim-myeon has been opened.

Earlier, in June of last year, a two-lane road construction of 1.2 km from Byeoksong-ri, Sillim-myeon to Unyang-ri, Buan-myeon was completed.

Kim Wancheol, Director of the Construction and Urban Department, said, "With the opening of the road, we expect to widely promote the precious cultural heritage of Gochang, the first capital of the Korean Peninsula, and provide a safe and convenient traffic environment for local residents. We will strive to improve transportation convenience for all residents by securing national budgets through central government ministries and the National Assembly."
