Two New Local Roads Designated: Goheung~Jangheung and One More Route

Contributing to Regional Economic Revitalization through Marine Tourism Demand Creation and Logistics Cost Reduction -

Providing Basic Transportation Rights and Improving Living Conditions in Island Areas

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that the 22km section connecting Duryangdo via Yongjeong-ri, Doyang-eup to Anyang-myeon, Jangheung, and the 2.1km section connecting Jukdo from Jijuk-ri, Dohwa-myeon, Goheung-gun have been newly designated as local roads.

Since 2017, Goheung-gun has repeatedly visited Jeollanam-do to continuously request the designation of local roads to resolve regional issues, laying the foundation for the construction of the connecting bridges.

Once the connecting bridge between Goheung and Jangheung is built, the distance between the two areas will be reduced from 85km to 14km, shortening by 71km. This will not only reduce logistics costs by establishing a road network connecting the western and eastern regions of Jeonnam but is also expected to greatly contribute to revitalizing the local economy through increased marine tourism in the Duryang Bay area.

Additionally, it is expected to provide basic transportation rights to residents of the island area of Dohwa Jukdo, improving living conditions and reducing travel time, thereby increasing convenience.

An official from Goheung-gun stated, “The designation of routes between Goheung~Jangheung and Dohwa-myeon Jiho~Jukdo has set the first step toward resolving regional issues and residents’ long-standing requests. We will continue to do our best to alleviate inconveniences in residents’ daily lives and enhance their convenience.”
