Jungnangcheon, a stream where many residents of Gwangjin-gu enjoy walking throughout the year, has been newly renovated to be more pleasant and safe.

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) invested a total of 500 million KRW to carry out an environmental improvement project around Jungnangcheon.

The narrow pedestrian path under Gunja Bridge, which was inconvenient, was expanded, and the water pooling issue on the bicycle path from Jungnangcheon Park Golf Course to Gunja Bridge was addressed. The old walls of the underground passage (Tokkigul), the entrance to the walking trail, were repaired, and lighting facilities were replaced.

Additionally, safety facilities were replaced and expanded to strengthen the prevention of accidents within the stream.

Safety fences were newly installed along a 415m section of the Jungnangcheon walking trail and a 191m section of the sports park. On the bicycle path from Gunja Bridge to Jangpyeong Bridge, 621 road markers were replaced or added to help clearly identify the road.

Other maintenance included installing guide posts for line of sight, pavement blocks indicating distance, and 112 emergency call information signs.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We have promoted environmental improvements so that many residents can use Jungnangcheon safely and comfortably. We will continue to do our best to make Gwangjin a great place for walking.”
