Gwangju Gwangsan District to Light Up Pungyeongjeongcheon Promenade with LED Security Lights

Expanding Lighting Along the 3 km Section from Hanam Bridge to Golot Bridge
Enhancing Nighttime Pedestrian Safety with a Total Project Cost of 400 Million Won

Gwangsan District in Gwangju will expand lighting facilities to improve the nighttime walking environment along the Pungyeongjeongcheon promenade. The district plans to install LED security lights in sections where insufficient lighting has raised safety concerns, thereby enhancing pedestrian safety.

On the 12th, Gwangsan District announced that it will promote the "Pungyeongjeongcheon Promenade Brightness Improvement Project." The target section is the approximately 3 km stretch on the left bank of Pungyeongjeongcheon from Hanam Bridge to Golot Bridge, where the lack of lighting facilities has caused inconvenience for nighttime use.

The district determined that the risk of safety accidents could increase as the number of promenade users grows and therefore decided to expand the lighting facilities. It plans to install 54 new light-emitting diode (LED) security lights, investing a total project cost of about 400 million won.

This project will be carried out in connection with the previously developed right-bank section of Pungyeongjeongcheon and aims to systematically manage the nighttime walking environment along the entire Pungyeongjeongcheon area.

Gwangsan District began detailed design services in October last year and has since been conducting consultations and administrative procedures with relevant agencies, including river-use permits. Going forward, the district will swiftly complete the procedures related to the installation of security lights, minimize inconvenience to residents, and proceed with the construction.

An official from Gwangsan District stated, "We are working hard to expand and manage facilities so that citizens can use Pungyeongjeongcheon, one of their favorite destinations, in a more pleasant way," adding, "We will continue to do our best to build infrastructure that improves daily convenience."
