[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the morning of the 14th, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced that it held a completion ceremony for the road widening construction of Yeolmok access road in Domok Village, Daedun-do, Heuksan-myeon.

The completion ceremony was held in compliance with COVID-19 prevention guidelines, attended by Governor Park Woo-ryang, members of the county council, local residents, and related personnel.

Yeolmok Village is located at the tip of Domok-ri, Daedun-do, an affiliated island of Heuksan-myeon, and faced a regrettable reality where residents and young people were leaving the village and could not go even if they wanted to due to the lack of basic infrastructure such as access roads.

Accordingly, Sinan-gun invested a total project cost of 660 million KRW from December 2019 to November 2020 to expand the road to a total length of 326m and a width of 4m, and installed 220m of guardrails to prevent falls in dangerous sections, improving the facilities so that vehicles can use the road safely.

Governor Park Woo-ryang stated, “With the completion of the Yeolmok road, I hope that residents who left the village will return and establish their livelihoods,” and added, “We plan to continuously expand the poor infrastructure of the small island and do our best to improve the living conditions of the residents.”
