Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongnam Province announced on the 3rd that two routes have been selected as projects for the comprehensive preliminary feasibility study under the 6th Five-Year Comprehensive Plan for National and Local Roads Construction (2026?2030) established by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The selected projects are the construction of a new road on National Route 79 between Bugok, Changnyeong and Buk-myeon, Changwon (6.6 km, 146.7 billion KRW) and the two-lane improvement project on National Route 24 between Goam, Changnyeong and Cheongdo, Miryang (6.4 km, 114.6 billion KRW).

The new road construction project on National Route 79 between Bugok, Changnyeong and Buk-myeon, Changwon is expected to improve accessibility between cities and counties by connecting the previously disconnected national roads across the Nakdong River through the construction of Bugok Oncheon Bridge, contributing to the revitalization of tourism at Bugok Oncheon and Mageumsan Oncheon.

The section of National Route 24 between Goam, Changnyeong and Cheongdo, Miryang is a road with poor alignment and steep slopes, posing a high risk of traffic accidents. The improvement project is expected to enhance road safety and improve the connected transportation network.

In addition to the selection of two projects for the comprehensive preliminary feasibility study by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, Changnyeong-gun has also achieved results with projects under 50 billion KRW, including road improvement on National Route 20 from Jinchang-ri, Yueo-myeon, Changnyeong to Boncho-ri, Daeji-myeon (total length 4.9 km, project cost 39.4 billion KRW), and road construction connecting Yuga-myeon, Dalseong-gun, Daegu and Seongsan-myeon, Changnyeong-gun (total length 7.9 km, 48.1 billion KRW), linked to the ongoing construction of the Maryeongjae Tunnel on Nationally Supported Local Road 67.

Meanwhile, the selected projects will undergo a comprehensive evaluation of economic feasibility, policy relevance, and contribution to regional development through the Ministry of Economy and Finance’s comprehensive preliminary feasibility study, after which the decision on project implementation will be made.

County Governor Seong Nak-in stated, “The selection of these projects will be an important starting point for expanding the all-directional transportation network and regional development in Changnyeong-gun. We will do our best to work closely with Gyeongnam Province, Gyeongbuk Province, Changwon City, Miryang City, and others to ensure these projects are reflected in the 6th Five-Year Plan for National and Local Roads after passing through the Ministry of Economy and Finance’s preliminary feasibility study process.”
