Sidewalk Maintenance in Jegi-dong and Jangan-dong, Dongdaemun-gu
Dongdaemun-gu Completes Sidewalk Renovation for ‘Creating a Walkable City’
From April to July, Renovation Conducted in Jegi-dong and Jangan-dong Areas … Repairing Old and Damaged Sidewalks
Use of Special Anti-Slip Sidewalk Blocks … Establishing a Safe and Walkable Pedestrian Environment
Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) has completed the renovation of aging sidewalk blocks in the Jegi-dong and Jangan-dong areas, creating a safe and pleasant walking environment.
The renovation scope includes ▲Anam Five-way Intersection to Korea University Front Intersection ▲Jangan-dong Three-way Intersection to Jangan-dong Intersection to Jangpyeonggyo Bridge section, where all old and damaged sidewalk blocks that threatened pedestrian safety were replaced.
The main renovation works focused on areas frequently used by children and seniors, such as students from Eunseok Elementary, Jangpyeong Elementary, Jongam Elementary, and visitors to Jangan Neighborhood Park, including ▲repairing old sidewalks (width 3 to 5 meters, area 64.6 ares) and ▲repairing gutters and curbstones (length 1770 meters).
In particular, to prevent slip-and-fall accidents around bus stops, special sidewalk blocks with a high slip resistance coefficient were installed, and vehicle entrances and exits crossing the sidewalk were separated from the pedestrian path, creating a distinctive pedestrian environment in Dongdaemun-gu that is ‘safe and easy to walk.’
The district secured a project budget of 700 million KRW in national funds and 800 million KRW in city funds by requesting special grants and subsidies in the second half of 2022 to promote the sidewalk renovation project for a walkable city. The sidewalk renovation construction began in April this year and was completed in July.
