[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] The design of Gyeonggi Province's 'Southeast Axis Metropolitan Bicycle Road Network' has entered its final stage, and the project is set to proceed in earnest.

According to Gyeonggi Province on the 3rd, the 'Southeast Axis Metropolitan Bicycle Road Network' is a bicycle path that connects previously disconnected regional bicycle roads, forming a circular route around Gyeonggi Province, with a total investment of about 8 billion KRW (30% provincial funds, 70% city and county funds).

The route covers a total of 26.3 km, connecting 20.9 km from Samga-dong, Cheoin-gu, Yongin City to the confluence point of Jangamcheon in Hobup-myeon, Icheon City, and 5.4 km from Hadari, Heungcheon-myeon, Yeoju City to Ipoli, Geumsan-myeon.

The province has completed the design for the 20.9 km Yongin?Icheon section and plans to complete the design for the 5.4 km Yeoju section by August. After administrative procedures such as consultations on mountain and farmland use changes, construction is scheduled to be completed by next year.

In particular, the Yeoju section reflects the opinions of Yeoju City and local residents as much as possible, allowing users to enjoy riding while appreciating the natural scenery of the Namhan River.

Additionally, the Yongin?Icheon section's design incorporates a plan to follow the river as much as possible by linking with already established bicycle roads.

Furthermore, to prevent bicycle traffic accidents and enhance user convenience, safety facilities will be installed within the bicycle road, and rest facilities will be provided at regular intervals.

A provincial official stated, "Once the Southeast Axis Metropolitan Bicycle Road Network is completed, it will rapidly emerge as a new landmark where people can enjoy the nature, culture, and historical resources throughout Gyeonggi Province by bicycle."
