Half of the Road Fully Restored... Completion of Bridge on Rural Road 201 in Dudong, Ulju-gun

Paused Due to Opposition Complaints in 2013, Restarted in 2020

The reconstruction work of the Gwak Beom-seon Bridge on Rural Road No. 201 in Dudong, Ulju-gun, Ulsan City has finally been completed.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Ulsan City Ulju-gun announced on the 20th that it has completed the reconstruction work of the Gwakseomseon Bridge on Rural Road No. 201 in Dudong.

The county began road construction with a total project cost of about 2.3 billion KRW in 2013 to improve traffic convenience, living environment, and economic revitalization for residents in the rural areas from Ijeon to Eunpyeon in Dudong-myeon.

Among the project sections, the bridge construction was halted in 2014 due to opposition from local residents and was left unfinished without reconstruction.

Due to the suspension of construction, the completed bridge was only 5.4 meters wide, narrower than the full 10-meter two-lane width of the entire section. This caused bottlenecks and made it difficult for vehicles traveling in opposite directions to pass each other.

To resolve this, in 2019, the detailed design service for the reconstruction of the Gwakseomseon Bridge on Rural Road No. 201 in Dudong was carried out, and the project resumed. In 2020, land and property surveys, compensation negotiations, and construction began. This construction has formed a complete road that can eliminate the bottleneck.

A county official said, “We thank the local residents who endured the inconvenience of a half-finished road due to severe opposition,” and added, “We will firmly respond to complaints that harm the public interest to ensure that such widespread inconvenience does not happen again.”
