On July 24, Ansan City announced that the Yukdo coastal road repair project was selected for the "2026 Special Situation Area Development (Islands) New Project," organized by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and that it has secured 800 million KRW in national funding.

The Special Situation Area Development Project aims to promote sustainable growth in island regions by fostering local development and improving residents' welfare.

Yukdo, which was selected as the target for this maintenance project, is a small island area where residents have long faced inconvenience and safety issues due to road damage. The city explained that it conducted a resident survey in March to confirm the need for road repairs, and incorporated specific feedback from the site into the project proposal. As a result, the urgency and demand from residents were recognized during the review process.

The city plans to invest a total of 1 billion KRW, including the recently secured national funding, to repair a 230-meter section of the coastal road around 377-8, Pungdodong, which has been damaged by coastal erosion. The city intends to complete administrative procedures such as detailed design and finish the construction by 2027.

Lee Minguen, Mayor of Ansan, stated, "We will do our utmost to secure national and provincial funding and to discover related projects in order to create a safe living environment for local residents."
