[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The improvement project for the winding road from Sancheong-eup to Sindeung-myeon in Sancheong-gun, which caused inconvenience to safe passage due to its crookedness, is being promoted.

On the 1st, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced that the facility improvement project for National Local Road No. 60 from Jeonggok, Sancheong-eup to Morye (Cheokji Road), Sindeung-myeon, was included in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's '5th National Road and Local Road Construction Five-Year Plan (2021-2025)', receiving 45.5 billion KRW in national funding.

The 8.7 km section of Cheokji Road is a major route connecting the southern and northern areas of Sancheong.

Since it was constructed as a two-way intersection about 30 years ago, about 1,200 vehicles use it daily, but due to severe curves, residents have experienced great inconvenience such as vehicle accidents involving falls.

The county has made several requests for improvements and explained the necessity of the project to Gyeongnam Province and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to improve the function of the mountain road section.

The Cheokji Road facility improvement project is scheduled to be carried out step-by-step after establishing the basic plan in 2022.

Lee Jae-geun, the mayor of Sancheong-gun, said, "This Cheokji Road facility improvement project is one of the long-standing wishes of the residents," adding, "It is expected to greatly contribute to shortening the distribution routes of major agricultural products such as strawberries in Sindeung-myeon."

He continued, "We will proceed with the follow-up procedures in consultation with related organizations and local residents to ensure that the project starts promptly and proceeds smoothly."
