Previously, in January, Mayor Lee visited the Jungang-daero Nokdo area in Gojan-dong, Danwon-gu, to check on the progress of the construction and to address any inconveniences experienced by citizens. On this occasion as well, he inspected the newly opened pedestrian sections and listened to the opinions of nearby merchants and residents.

The Jungang-daero Nokdo area is a road site that was created in the 1970s during the development of the planned city, with future road expansion in mind. Citizens have continuously voiced concerns that the road and adjacent areas are disconnected, resulting in difficulties with pedestrian accessibility and space utilization. Despite its status as a major gateway to the city, there has been a consistent need for redevelopment because the area has not sufficiently served as a public space for citizens.

In response, the city has allocated a total project budget of 2.63 billion won to enhance urban accessibility and convenience for citizens, and is redeveloping the approximately 1.1-kilometer stretch of Nokdo from Ansancheon to the Hanyang Building intersection as a public space.

The project, which aims to be completed by June, includes the addition of 98 on-street parking spaces, the creation of plaza areas, the establishment of resting and break areas, and improvements to aging pavement. Through these efforts, the city plans to enhance both pedestrian safety and convenience for those using Jungang-daero.

At the site, Mayor Lee Mingeun stated, "Jungang-daero in Gojan-dong serves as a major gateway to Ansan and is an important axis that connects citizens' daily lives. We will minimize inconvenience to citizens during the project, and work to create a space that improves the urban landscape and revitalizes local commerce in a safe and timely manner."
