The interim report meeting was attended by Choi Byeonggap, Deputy Mayor of Paju City, the CEO of Paju DMZ Gondola, and other related officials. They reviewed the progress of the project’s design and shared future directions for the initiative.

This project aims to create a barrier-free pedestrian environment along the steep walking section from the upper gondola station to Camp Greaves, ensuring that everyone can move safely and conveniently. It also seeks to expand infrastructure to enhance convenience for tourists.

During the interim report meeting, there was in-depth discussion on measures to create a tourist-centered environment, including: structural design plans to ensure safety, slope design that considers people with limited mobility (such as wheelchair users, strollers, and the elderly), the layout of rest areas, and improvements to the guidance system. These topics had been raised at the project’s kickoff meeting in June.

Additionally, various opinions were exchanged on providing unique and convenient facilities accessible to all, creating a positive image through marketing and regular events during future operations, and strengthening the connection with Camp Greaves History Park. The discussions were lively and wide-ranging.

Choi Byeonggap, Deputy Mayor of Paju City, stated, "Through this interim report meeting, we were able to share various opinions and once again review the user-centered design direction. We will ensure that the design stage carefully reflects not only the safety of tourists but also the creation of a pedestrian environment that allows people with limited mobility to use the facilities without inconvenience."

Meanwhile, the "Imjingak Peace Gondola Skywalk Installation Project" was selected as a 2025 Gyeonggi-do tourism site and cultural tourism resource development project, with a total budget of 4.64 billion won-2.32 billion won from the national government and 2.32 billion won from the city. Basic and detailed design services are currently underway from March to December 2025, with construction scheduled to begin in March 2026 and be completed by December 2026.
