According to the city on the 25th, this project was initiated to improve the pedestrian flow connecting Gwanghallu Garden and the Public Market, and to create a plaza-style road focused on pedestrians.

In particular, to minimize inconvenience to residents and tourists during the construction period, the city plans to carry out the work in phases in connection with the 'Gwanghallu Garden Central Commercial District Revitalization Hub Center Project.'

Mayor Choi Kyungsik stated, "We plan to begin construction in October, avoiding the peak tourist season," and added, "Through this project, we will create a safe pedestrian environment and develop an urban space that can be conveniently used by both citizens and tourists visiting Gwanghallu Garden."

Meanwhile, the 'Gwanghanseo-ro Safe Pedestrian Environment Creation Project' was selected as a 2024 Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province public project and will be carried out with a total budget of 2 billion won (1 billion won from the province and 1 billion won from the city).
