Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) is gaining attention by promoting the ‘Dorimcheon Nighttime Safety Lighting Improvement Project’ and the ‘Anyangcheon Riverside Walkway Lighting Improvement Project’ to create a safe and comfortable waterfront space.

At the '2023 12th Seoul Good Light Awards' ceremony held at Seoul City Hall on the 19th, Guro-gu was honored with the Grand Prize in the construction category for the Dorimcheon Nighttime Safety Lighting Improvement Project.

Following last year, the district completed the construction (phases 1 to 3) in July to improve the nighttime lighting environment and install landscape lighting along a 4.2km section of the left bank of Dorimcheon.

Including a newly constructed walkway connecting the pedestrian-disconnected section from under Sinjeonggyo Bridge to the Street Park Five-way Intersection, 99 high-efficiency LED fixtures were installed along a 2.4km section. Safety lighting was installed to guide emergency evacuation in case of river isolation, enhancing the safety and convenience for residents using the riverside walkway.

Additionally, landscape lighting was installed at three locations along the Dorimcheon walkway, providing visual attractions for residents enjoying nighttime strolls.

For Anyangcheon, 61 solar-powered streetlights were installed along a 3.5km section from the right bank of Sinjeonggyo Bridge to the left bank of Gwangmyeong Bridge in front of Gocheok Sky Dome, improving the illumination of the walkway.

The district established a monitoring system that easily tracks the power generation, usage, and malfunction status of the solar streetlights, enhancing the efficiency of streetlight maintenance.

A Guro-gu official stated, “Dorimcheon and Anyangcheon are heavily used by residents, and we will do our best to create a safe and pleasant walking environment,” adding, “We hope these areas become representative resting places loved by the residents of Guro-gu.”
