Improving Connectivity Between Residential Areas and Cultural Facilities
Enhancing Access to Ori Station

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Shin Sangjin) announced on the 25th that it will aim to complete a pedestrian bridge across the Tancheon Stream in front of Rainbow Village in Gumi-dong by April 2026, in response to ongoing requests from citizens seeking to connect the separated residential area and cultural facilities.

The pedestrian bridge will be constructed to accommodate both vulnerable road users and two-way bicycle traffic, with a length of 30 meters and a width of 6 meters.

If the bridge is installed to connect with the newly transformed Seongnam Mulbit Garden (formerly the Gumi-dong Sewage Treatment Plant), which has recently become a community space, it is expected to serve as infrastructure that links culture and daily life. As a result, the need for the pedestrian bridge has been increasingly emphasized.

In particular, after Mayor Shin Sangjin visited the site on July 5 to review the surrounding conditions and the current usage of the Tancheon Stream, he ordered the swift implementation of the project, which has since gained significant momentum.

Seongnam City has already secured 300 million won in national funding out of the total project cost of 1.45 billion won for the bridge. The city plans to complete the detailed design by the end of this year, begin construction in January 2026, and finish the project by April 2026.

Mayor Shin Sangjin stated, "The Gumi-dong Tancheon pedestrian bridge will safely connect residents' living areas and greatly enhance convenience for Tancheon users. We will complete the project as quickly as possible and open it to the public."
