Dongducheon City completed the improvement project of the street food stall village next to Seoneopgyo Bridge on Sincheon on the 28th, aimed at improving flood control and environmental conditions of Sincheon and creating a pleasant river environment.

Dongducheon City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Park Hyung-deok) announced on the 29th that it has completed the renovation project of the street food stall village next to Suneopgyo Bridge on Sincheon Stream, which was promoted to improve flood control and create a pleasant river environment on the 28th.

The Sincheon street food stall village is located on the left bank upstream of Suneopgyo Bridge on Sincheon Stream, along the north-south riverside road section connecting Dongducheon City and Yangju City.

Additionally, this area is connected to National Route 3 at Eunhyeon IC, resulting in considerable traffic volume.

The street food stall village, which has been operating since 1989, had become an eyesore not only to citizens but also to visitors to Dongducheon due to aging facilities and an unclean surrounding environment.

Accordingly, Dongducheon City officially began the renovation project of the street food stall village, which had legal issues under current regulations, starting in 2021. After long-term consultations with the residents of the street food stall village, the city decided to support relocation and removal costs, and subsequently proceeded with the demolition of the stalls and embankment maintenance work.

The construction, which began in December 2023 with a total project cost of 1.1 billion KRW, involved demolishing 12 existing street food stall buildings, maintaining the embankment, and adding one right-turn lane to the existing two-lane road. The maintenance of the existing bicycle path on the floodplain was also completed.

A Dongducheon City official stated, “With the demolition of the street food stall village and the completion of embankment maintenance, a pleasant river and road environment will be created, which is expected to increase citizen satisfaction.” He added, “We will continue to maintain river infrastructure to improve the quality of life for local residents.”
