Goheung-gun, 20.7 Billion Won Allocated for Dangerous Road and Bottleneck Improvement Project

Ten High-Risk Traffic Accident Areas Including Donggang Hancheon Intersection to Be Improved by 2027

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gong Young-min) announced on the 28th that 10 high-risk traffic accident sections and 20.7 billion KRW have been included in the "7th Phase (2023~2027) Basic Plan for Improvement of Dangerous Roads and Bottleneck Points" established and announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The improvement project for dangerous roads and bottleneck points is a project aimed at improving traffic flow and preventing accidents by repairing national road sections where the road structure is vulnerable, posing a high risk of traffic accidents or where traffic congestion is not smooth. The basic plan is established every five years, and projects included in the basic plan are sequentially promoted according to investment priorities within the budget secured annually.

Goheung-gun established an organic cooperative relationship with Jeollanam-do, Suncheon National Land Management Office, and others from the demand survey stage of the basic plan for dangerous roads and bottleneck points, continuously proposing the necessity and feasibility of the project, securing 20.7 billion KRW in national funds.

The main projects included in this 7th phase basic plan total 10 locations with 20.7 billion KRW, including ▲ Donggang Hancheon Intersection Improvement (12 billion KRW) ▲ Gwaryeok Seokbong Intersection Improvement (1.5 billion KRW) ▲ Goheung Hohyeong Intersection Improvement (1 billion KRW). These sections have long been raised as needing improvement due to traffic accident risks and traffic inconvenience.

A Goheung-gun official said, "We expect that the risk of traffic accidents and residents' traffic inconvenience will be greatly improved through the maintenance of dangerous roads such as major intersections in the jurisdiction," and added, "We will do our best to secure national funds early so that the project can be promoted in a timely manner."
