[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province has created a 1.24km walking trail along Osancheon from Bondong 2-gyo in Neungwon-ri, Mohyeon-eup, Cheoin-gu to Osan 2-gyo.

This area was previously just a waterway, but following residents' requests to create a waterfront space, the city developed a walking trail along with river maintenance.

To prevent the embankment from collapsing, Yongin City laid natural revetments and created a space for citizens to stroll, then completed smooth paving work. Dredging was also carried out to ensure the smooth flow of the river.

The city invested a total of 1.8 billion KRW in the construction, which took place over 11 months starting last January.

Following this first section, the city will begin construction on the second section next year, extending from Maesan-ri, Mohyeon-eup to Ilsan-ri, where it joins Gyeongan Stream. Completion is targeted for 2024.

A city official stated, "We created a walking trail utilizing the waterfront space to help residents enjoy leisurely walks along the waterway. Next year, we will promptly proceed with construction on the second section to provide residents with a walking trail that offers rest and relaxation."
