[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 21st, Mayor Jo Gyu-il visited the site of the road widening and expansion construction between Buheunggyo and Jangheunggyo to check the progress.

Jinju City began the detailed design for the road widening and expansion construction between Buheunggyo and Jangheunggyo in January. After completing administrative procedures such as consultation with Gyeongnam Province regarding river occupation, construction started in May with a budget of 2.8 billion KRW.

Currently, a 1.2 km section from Buheunggyo to Jangheunggyo, which is an undeveloped part of Rural Road No. 306 in Jiphyeon-myeon, is being developed into a two-lane bypass road.

The construction is being promoted in conjunction with the 'Geumsangyo Connection Lane Improvement Project' and the 'Chojeon-Daegok Road Widening and Expansion Project' to alleviate severe traffic congestion from Geumsangyo Intersection to the Gyeongnam Provincial Western Office and Daesin-ro in Chojang-dong. The project is 70% complete and aims to open by December.

Mayor Jo Gyu-il expressed high expectations, stating, "The opening of the bypass road between Buheunggyo and Jangheunggyo will have a significant effect in alleviating traffic congestion in the Chojang district and the Geumsangyo area."
