Gangbuk-gu Completes 'Baeknyeon Market' Arcade Construction with 4.4 Billion Won Investment

Gangbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Soon-hee) announced on the 8th that it has completed the arcade of Baeknyeon Market, a traditional market, after 2 years and 4 months of construction.

Baeknyeon Market, a representative traditional market in the Suyu commercial district, was formed around a market where auctions for fruits, vegetables, and other produce were held over 40 years ago. In the past, it was called Ssangmun Market and Gangbuk General Market, but as the market expanded, its name was changed to "Baeknyeon Market" in June 2022, meaning "Let's build 100 years together with customers."

The district office collaborated with the market merchants' association to apply for the Seoul Metropolitan Government's traditional market facility modernization project in 2020 to create a pleasant market environment. The project was selected, securing a total budget of 4.439 billion KRW, and the arcade construction began. It took about 2 years and 4 months until its completion last month.

The arcade covers a total area of 1,725㎡, with a length of 230m and a height of 12 to 15m. The arcade was installed using Teflon (PTFE), a semi-noncombustible material.
