Gangseo-gu Improves Access to Anyangcheon for Disabled and Elderly Convenience

Installing Deck Road and Creating a 7,000㎡ Waterside Space

Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon) has significantly improved the walking environment of the ‘Anyangcheon Access Road’ to make it more convenient for people with disabilities and the elderly.

The Anyangcheon access road around 222 Yeomchang-dong is a passage connecting Yeomchang-dong to the confluence of Anyangcheon and the Han River, frequently used by many residents and riders to access the river and the Han River.

In April, Gangseo-gu removed steep stairs in some sections of the Anyangcheon access road and installed gentle deck roads. However, the lower access road with stairs was inconvenient for people with disabilities, strollers, and the elderly, leading to continuous requests for facility improvements.

At the end of last month, the district demolished the stairs on the lower access road and completed the installation of a 131-meter deck road. Additionally, a 7,000㎡ waterfront space was created around the Anyangcheon access road by planting flowering plants and shrubs.

Mayor Jin Gyo-hoon said, “We will strive to enhance the convenience of using Anyangcheon and improve the aesthetics so that residents can use Anyangcheon and Han River Park more comfortably. We will carefully listen to and address residents’ inconveniences to create a safe and secure city where everyone feels comfortable.”
