Busan City Implements Gwangandaegyo Bridge Landscape Lighting Improvement Project

Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Selected ‘Busan International Tourism City Development Project’ Core Project

Seven Bridge Landmark Project Total Budget Approximately 7 Billion KRW

Busan City will officially begin the "Gwangandaegyo Bridge Landscape Lighting Improvement Project," a core initiative of the "Tourism Hub City Development Project" and part of the "Seven Bridge Landmark Project," starting this May.

Details of the replacement and installation in the "Gwangandaegyo Bridge Landscape Lighting Improvement Project."

Since being selected in January 2020 for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's "Tourism Hub City Development Project" competition, the city has been promoting projects to become the top international tourism city in the southern region, competing with the metropolitan area. This project is the second bridge landscape lighting installation (improvement) project following the completion of the "Sinhodaegyo Bridge Landscape Lighting Improvement Project" last year.

With a total budget of approximately 7 billion KRW, the "Gwangandaegyo Bridge Landscape Lighting Improvement Project" completed the detailed design service for construction implementation last year. Starting from the second week of May, the existing lighting facilities will be dismantled over about one month, and from June to the end of October, new lighting facilities will be installed, followed by a pilot operation before full operation. Along with the installation of the landscape lighting during the construction period, the content will also be newly updated.

For safety and better landscape improvement, the city plans to temporarily turn off the beach-side landscape lighting, excluding road lighting and some essential coastal lights, for about six months during the construction period. The city has informed related organizations and the relevant district offices about this project and plans to cooperate with district offices and the police to minimize inconvenience to tourists and residents.

A Busan city official stated, "Since the existing Gwangandaegyo Bridge landscape lighting was installed about 10 years ago, we expect that through this project, with various content changes applied to new hardware, Gwangandaegyo Bridge will reestablish itself as a representative landmark of Busan."
