Gijang County Office.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Busan Gijang-gun (Governor Jeong Jong-bok) announced that the ‘Songjeongcheon Trail Construction Project’ for creating a walking trail along Songjeongcheon (Naeri area, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun) and installing convenience facilities is progressing smoothly.

The ‘Songjeongcheon Trail Construction Project’ is a project aimed at connecting the previously disconnected walking trails and creating a community-based trail that harmonizes with the natural environment around Songjeongcheon.

Since 2021, Gijang-gun has initially invested 330 million KRW for the ‘Phase 1 Project’ to complete the maintenance of the walking trail section from Gutgeori Park to Naeri Humansia Apartment (L=1.2 km).

Then, in the first half of this year, an additional 110 million KRW was invested for the ‘Phase 2 Project’ to complete the connection of the walking trail section from Naeri Humansia Apartment to Oshin Village (L=261 m). Public restrooms, benches, and streetlights were also newly installed to ensure visitors have no inconvenience while using the trail.

Currently, with an investment of 900 million KRW, the ‘Phase 3 Project’ is underway to construct the walking trail section from Oshin Village to Naedong Village (L=500 m), scheduled for completion in May next year.

A Gijang-gun official stated, “Once the Songjeongcheon Trail Construction Project is completed, a circular walking course between villages and pedestrian infrastructure between parks will be established, allowing more residents and visitors to gain health and enjoyment within the urban area.” He added, “We will make every effort to ensure the construction proceeds smoothly so that visitors to Songjeongcheon can use the river safely and comfortably.”
