Cheongsong-gun, Gwangdeok Pedestrian Bridge Opening Ceremony and Cherry Blossom Path Walking Event a Great Success

Cheongsong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, completed the long-awaited project of the residents of Gwangdeok-ri, Jinbo-myeon, installing the 'Gwangdeokgyo Pedestrian Bridge,' and held an opening ceremony and cherry blossom path walking event on April 7.

Cheongsong-gun held the opening ceremony of the Gwangdeok footbridge and a cherry blossom path walking event.

Cheongsong-gun secured a budget of 600 million KRW last April to improve the hazardous environment caused by the lack of a sidewalk on Gwangdeokgyo Bridge in Jinbo-myeon, where vehicle traffic posed accident risks. From October to January this year, over three months, a pedestrian bridge was installed with a total length of 360 meters, a width of 2.0 meters, and two observation decks.

Additionally, plans are underway to improve the bridge's appearance and enhance residents' walking environment by renovating the sidewalk at the pedestrian bridge entrance and installing streetlights and lighting facilities to ensure visibility for residents at night.

In particular, the opening ceremony was held together with the 'Cherry Blossom Path Walking Event,' attracting over 500 local residents and creating a great success.

The walking course started at the south entrance of Gwangdeokgyo Bridge (toward Jinbo), passed over the pedestrian bridge, and returned along the Gwangdeok cherry blossom path, covering a round trip of 2.3 km and lasting about one hour. Participants slowly walked along the beautiful path filled with blooming cherry blossoms, enjoying rest and leisure while healing their body and mind.
