Dongjak-gu Raises Overpass Deck in Front of Lotte Castle Golden Foret

Immediate Resolution of Resident Inconveniences & Problem Solving Through Creative Thinking and Proactive Administration

Dongjak-gu (Mayor Park Il-ha) announced that the installation work of the pedestrian overpass in front of Sadang Lotte Castle Golden Foret is in its final stages ahead of its scheduled completion in October, and on the 19th, the placement of the overpass deck was completed.

This project involves an investment of 2.65 billion KRW from the district budget to construct a new pedestrian overpass measuring 25.2 meters in length and 3 meters in width, connecting the traffic island in front of the apartment complex with the green space across the street.

Mayor Park Il-ha visited the site with related departments on the day to directly inspect the process of placing the deck and ensure safety.

Until now, residents had to use the overpass near Namsong Station, which is more than 500 meters away, to cross the four-lane Sadang-ro, causing significant inconvenience.

Initially, a crosswalk was planned, but progress stalled following a review by the Road Traffic Authority that deemed installation difficult due to the steep road slope.

Under the 8th administration, proactive measures were taken to resolve the issue, securing the budget for the overpass installation at the end of last year and commencing construction in June this year.

In particular, elevators will be installed at both ends of the pedestrian overpass, greatly improving the walking environment for nearby residents, including the elderly and people with disabilities.

Additionally, near the opposite overpass, the ‘Smart Shelter’?which also functions as a bus stop and is being constructed through a donation from Seegene Medical Foundation?is progressing smoothly in its final stages.

Park Il-ha, Mayor of Dongjak-gu, stated, “This will not only improve the walking environment and public transportation convenience but also allow easy access to the green walking trails. We will continue to make greater efforts to immediately resolve residents’ inconveniences through innovative thinking and proactive administration.”
