This project involved installing sidewalks along a 1.3-kilometer section (from Gwaneum 2 Bridge to Gwaneum 5 Bridge) of City Road No. 5, which has a total length of 4.8 kilometers. Previously, the absence of sidewalks forced pedestrians to share the road with vehicles, causing inconvenience. With this project, a pedestrian-friendly and pleasant road environment has been established.

In particular, City Road No. 5 serves as a route connecting major tourist attractions. The installation of sidewalks has improved accessibility for tourists and created a more walkable environment. As a result, positive effects such as revitalization of local tourism and commercial districts are expected.

Mayor Bang Sehwan stated, "This sidewalk installation project goes beyond simple infrastructure improvement, achieving both the enhancement of walking culture and the expansion of tourism infrastructure." He added, "We will continue to work closely with relevant departments and residents to accelerate the completion of the entire sidewalk section."
