[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, held a residents' briefing session on the 10th at the Yuchi-myeon Administrative Welfare Center (10:30 AM) and the County Hall (2:00 PM) for about 80 local residents (Jangheung-eup and Yuchi-myeon) regarding the expansion and paving construction of the 2.7 km section from Neugyong-ri to Yongmun-ri on Local Road No. 817 in Yuchi-myeon, Jangheung.

The expansion and paving project of the local road in Yuchi-myeon has been under detailed design by Jeollanam-do since May last year and is scheduled to be completed by June next year. The project section covers the Neugyong-ri to Yongmun-ri area in Yuchi-myeon.

This road project involves upgrading the existing 2.7 km two-lane road to a four-lane road, including the improvement and expansion of one bridge (L=90m), one tunnel (L=200m), and three intersections.

The total project cost is 40 billion KRW. Once the detailed design is completed by June next year, construction will be actively pursued. Jeollanam-do is currently in active consultation with related organizations such as the Korea Water Resources Corporation and the Iksan Regional Land Management Office.

Upon completion, the road will allow four-lane travel from Yuchi-myeon to Gwangju, significantly alleviating traffic inconvenience, resolving a long-standing issue for Jangheung-gun residents, and greatly improving accessibility for tourists visiting Jangheung-gun.

County Governor Jeong Jong-sun stated, “The expansion and paving of the local road is an essential project to improve the quality of life for residents through smooth traffic flow. We will complete the design early next year and continue to consult with Jeollanam-do to ensure the project starts promptly.”
