On March 18, the city of Gumi in North Gyeongsang Province announced that it has successfully completed the Sanho Bridge nightscape project, which enhances the nighttime scenery of the Nakdong River and expands the urban nightscape for both citizens and visitors to enjoy. The city has now begun full-scale operation of the project.

This project was carried out over approximately 640 meters on the northern side of Sanho Bridge, as viewed from the Bisan Ferry area. Of the total project cost of 2 billion won, 1 billion won was invested in the first phase to install landscape lighting on the bridge. This marks the first achievement in Gumi’s efforts to improve the nighttime landscape of bridges over the Nakdong River.

The Sanho Bridge now features colorful landscape lighting along its sides, reflecting on the river and tinting the surface of the Nakdong River with light. Strobe (flash) lights have been installed on the bridge piers, creating a sparkling effect reminiscent of twinkling stars.

The lighting operates from sunset until 11:00 p.m. The primary display uses a warm white color scheme, emphasizing a subtle and sophisticated atmosphere that harmonizes with the rippling waters of the Nakdong River.

In addition, every hour on the hour, a 10-minute sequence of changing colors adds rhythm and vibrancy to the space. From the Bisan Ferry promenade, visitors can take in an unobstructed night view of the bridge, river, and walking path all together.

Gumi Mayor Kim Jangho stated, “The Sanho Bridge nightscape project goes beyond simply turning on lights; it is expected to invigorate the city as a key element that enhances both urban beauty and brand value. We will continue to promote a variety of landscape projects that citizens can truly experience firsthand.”
