This project was promoted as part of Wonju City's nighttime landscape improvement initiative to provide a safe and pleasant nighttime cultural activity space and attractions, and to enhance the urban landscape.

Starting with Gaebonggyo Bridge in 2020, Wonju City completed nighttime landscape improvement projects for Wonjugyo Bridge in 2021, Bongpyeonggyo and Taeghakgyo Bridges in 2022, and Chiakgyo Bridge in December 2024. With this, the Heungyangcheon project has now been completed.

A budget of 264 million KRW was invested in Taebonggyo Bridge and the pedestrian deck of Heungyangcheon to install LED landscape lighting that provides a beautiful urban night view on the bridge railings, 75 meters of the girder sides, and 430 meters of the pedestrian deck's lower railings.

The lighting was designed to create a subtle atmosphere considering the riverside walking path, and during the Heungyangcheon festival period, the lighting effects provided attractions so that citizens can safely enjoy the festival even at night.

An official from Wonju City stated, “Heungyangcheon is equipped with walking trails and sports facilities, making it a popular nighttime walking course for citizens. We will continue to strive to create a safe walking environment to provide daily healing for our citizens.”
