[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City in Gyeongnam announced on the 28th that it has completed the installation of night lighting facilities in the gateway area and the improvement of urban landscape lighting facilities to create a city environment where the night scenery is beautiful, and where people can heal and enjoy the night view.

The city invested 580 million KRW to install 117 tree lights on the Sangpyeonggyo section of the Namhae Expressway Jinju IC, 130 landscape lights at the Tongyeong-Daejeon Expressway Seojinju IC, and a sign mall with the image of Chokseokru, and plans to turn on the lights starting next month.

At Jinju Station Plaza, 16 Yeoljudeng lanterns were installed, and the lighting color of the station building was changed to a soft and warm daylight color series to harmonize well with the traditional Hanok architecture.

For the old and difficult-to-repair Dwi-byeori and Jinyanggyo bridges, the existing equipment was removed, and with an investment of 600 million KRW, 228 LED floodlights and 485 line bars were replaced to create night landscape lighting that harmonizes well with the Namgang River.

Laser lights were used to project traditional patterns on the arches of Jinju Bridge, enhancing the dignity of the bridge, and LED lights were installed under Cheonsugyo Bridge to produce colors that blend with the surroundings.

Mayor Cho Gyu-il said, “The downtown area of Jinju has become much brighter and more beautiful,” adding, “We will enhance the city's dignity through landscape lighting and ensure that citizens can live safely and comfortably.”

Meanwhile, since the launch of the 7th local government, Jinju City has invested about 5 billion KRW over three years to improve nighttime illumination directly related to residents' convenience by replacing 8,670 streetlights on major roads and arterial roads with LEDs, significantly contributing to reducing electricity bills and nighttime safety accidents.
