Imsil-gun Promotes Okjeongho Cable Car and Monorail Installation Project

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Nosik] The Seomjingang Renaissance Project, a representative project of Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, is expected to gain further momentum with the opening of the Bungeo Island Suspension Bridge, followed by the installation of a cable car and monorail.

The county announced on the 28th that it has prepared detailed plans for the cable car and monorail installation project, which will allow visitors to enjoy a panoramic view of Okjeongho from the sky.

The Okjeongho cable car and monorail installation project will be promoted in connection with a leading domestic conglomerate.

The cable car will be installed in the first phase of the project from the second half of this year until 2024, covering an 840m section from Unamgyo Bridge to the summit of Naraesan.

The monorail will be installed over an 800m section from Yosan Park near Bungeo Island to Guksabong Observatory, providing convenience for tourists.

Additionally, in the second phase from 2024 to 2026, a cable car will be further installed over approximately 3 km from the summit of Naraesan to Bungeo Island, and the monorail will be extended by 750m, expected to mark the pinnacle of the Seomjingang Renaissance Project.

The total project cost is 106.5 billion KRW (first phase 35.5 billion KRW, second phase 71 billion KRW), and a leading domestic conglomerate has proposed investment intentions to Imsil-gun in the form of a private business, planning to promote the project in connection with the conglomerate.

Currently, the construction of the suspension bridge centered on Bungeo Island at Okjeongho is nearing completion, with a pilot opening imminent.

Large-scale parking lots with a capacity of about 600 vehicles for visitors to Bungeo Island and the Yosan Park plaza construction project are also underway, aiming for completion by mid-June.

In particular, once the Okjeongho Suspension Bridge is completed, it will provide the only entrance to Bungeo Island.

The mysterious Bungeo Island, which has been shrouded in secrecy, is scheduled to be revealed in a splendid form in line with the creation of an ecological park, and it is already expected to become the best healing spot for visitors feeling mental and physical fatigue from the city.

Visitors to Okjeongho have been deeply captivated and amazed by the clear waters of Okjeongho and the beautiful scenery of Bungeo Island, which approach like a picture.

Besides the ongoing projects, the county is determined to make an all-out effort to secure new national budget projects such as the creation of the Okjeongho ecological trail, barrier-free sharing paths, Okjeongho ecological forest, and tourism resource development projects linked to Jaraseom Island.

A county official said, “As the Bungeo Island tourism development project is smoothly wrapping up, we will not stop there but will steadily promote the cable car and monorail installation projects centered on Unam Bridge, Naraesan, and Guksabong. We will devote all our remaining efforts to ensure the Seomjingang Renaissance era bears definite fruit.”
