Jindo County in South Jeolla Province held a safety prayer ceremony on December 8 in Jodo-myeon to mark the official start of the "Sangjodo~Okdo Inter-island Bridge Construction" project.

Approximately 100 people attended the ceremony, including the county governor, members of the Jindo County Council, local organizations, residents, and construction officials, all wishing for safe construction and the successful completion of the project.

This inter-island bridge project, with a total investment of 11.1 billion won, is a key infrastructure initiative aimed at alleviating transportation inconveniences for island residents. The project will construct a 140-meter-long sea bridge connecting Sangjodo and Okdo, along with a 1,740-meter connecting road. Upon completion, travel time will be significantly reduced, and major changes are expected in the region's daily life and economic activities.

Kim Heesu, Governor of Jindo County, stated, "The construction of the inter-island bridge is a significant project that residents have long awaited. As this is the first step toward opening a 'road to the future' that will drive regional development, we will prioritize safety throughout the entire construction process and ensure tangible changes that residents can truly experience."

The county plans to accelerate construction following the safety prayer ceremony, aiming to complete the project by the end of 2028.
