Through this project, Guri City aimed to transform the underpass of Topyeong Bridge into a cultural and artistic space utilizing light, providing citizens with attractions and a place to relax. Four light-diffusing panels, installed in pairs facing each other on two bridge piers, create a variety of colors. In addition, two electronic display boards capable of city promotion and two beam projectors for screening 3D media content have been installed on the ceiling.

This project was promoted as part of the 8th popularly elected administration's pledges, and Guri City secured 150 million won in provincial funding by being selected for Gyeonggi Province's "Nightscape Creation Project for Happiness Through Light." Including special grants and special adjustment grants, a total of 750 million won was covered by national and provincial funds, minimizing the city's financial burden.

Currently, media art is operated daily from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and outside of these hours, visitors can enjoy artistic scenes blending light and color through the light-diffusing panels. The city also plans to continuously improve the surrounding environment so that residents can relax during the daytime as well.
