Maintenance of 51 Streetlights on Jungnangcheon Ddukbanggil Trail... Preventing Nighttime Safety Accidents
Replacing Existing 50W Fixtures with 75W Eco-Friendly Lighting, Minimizing Shadow Areas
Enhanced Road Lighting Maintenance... Neungdong-ro Streetlight Upgrades and Smart Security Light Installation Planned

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has renovated all 51 streetlights along the Jungnangcheon embankment walking path to create a safer pedestrian environment.

The area had received numerous complaints about dim lighting due to aging facilities. In response, the district launched an illumination improvement project to ensure the safety of visitors. Over approximately three months, a budget of 51 million KRW was invested to brighten the previously dark walking path.

The existing 50W fixtures were replaced with 75W light-emitting diode (LED) streetlights. This change was made considering not only the increased brightness but also the improved energy efficiency. Additionally, the height of the streetlight poles was increased by 1 meter to minimize shadowed areas.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, stated, “We improved the lighting on the walking path to reduce pedestrians’ anxiety and prevent safety accidents. We will continue to work on resolving daily inconveniences through regular patrols and facility maintenance.”

Furthermore, the district plans to implement various road lighting maintenance projects to enhance residents’ convenience. These include upgrading streetlights on Neungdong-ro, replacing streetlight timers, and installing IoT-based smart security lights to strengthen pedestrian safety.
