Typhoon Danas Scarred Changwon's 'Sanggokgyo', Set to Become a Symbolic Bridge of Naeseo-eup

The completion ceremony for the reconstruction work of Sangkokgyo Bridge in Masanhwoin-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam was held on the 2nd.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The reconstruction of Sanggokgyo Bridge in Masanhwoin-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam, has been completed, and a completion ceremony was held on the 2nd.

Sanggokgyo Bridge crosses the Gwangryeocheon Stream in Naesa-eup. In 2019, due to Typhoon Danas, the river overflowed, submerging the bridge, causing part of the deck to collapse and cracks to form in the piers.

The city demolished the bridge to prevent safety accidents such as collapse and rebuilt it as a two-lane pedestrian bridge allowing two-way traffic.

With a total project cost of 2.6 billion KRW, the newly constructed pedestrian bridge will provide a convenient and safe walking environment. The installation of arch structures and an observatory on the bridge will improve the surrounding scenery, making it a symbolic bridge of Naesa-eup.

Mayor Heo Seong-mu expressed gratitude to the local residents and workers of Jungri Industrial Complex who cooperated during the demolition and construction, stating, "We will do our best to create and provide a safe and pleasant walking environment."
