Busan Gijang County Fully Opens Ilgwang Samsungcheon Trail... "Urban Healing Space Reborn"

Busan's Gijang County (County Governor Jeong Jongbok) announced on October 31 that it has completed the "Ilgwang Samsungcheon Trail Maintenance Project" and will fully open the trail to the public starting November 1.

The newly opened Samsungcheon Trail spans a 1.4-kilometer section connecting Ilgwang New Town and Ilgwang Library, with a total project cost of 2.9 billion won. The county began construction in 2021 and completed the work in October of this year.

With the newly renovated trail, residents can now enjoy the waterfront space along Samsungcheon and travel more comfortably from Ilgwang New Town to Ilgwang Library. In addition, the connection to existing sidewalks allows for an easy walk all the way to Ilgwang Beach.

The pedestrian route at the "Donghae Line Hudong Overpass" section, which had previously caused significant inconvenience for residents, has been greatly improved, creating a safer and more pleasant walking environment. Accessibility to key community facilities, such as Ilgwang Library, which opens in November, and the Ilgwang-eup Administrative Welfare Center, scheduled to open in 2026, has also been enhanced.

The county expects that the new trail will not only benefit local residents but also become a new healing destination for visitors to nearby attractions such as Ilgwang Beach.

Jeong Jongbok, Governor of Gijang County, stated, "I would like to thank the residents of Ilgwang-eup for waiting for the full opening of the Samsungcheon Trail," and added, "I hope residents can enjoy the urban waterfront space and improve their health and quality of life." He further emphasized, "We will continue to expand waterfront spaces to enhance citizens' well-being and promote public health."
