Governor Yu Cheon-ho of Ganghwa County Inspects Construction Site of 'Coastal Circulation Road Section 4-1'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Shin Eun-seob] On the 19th, Governor Yu Cheon-ho of Ganghwa County directly inspected the construction site of the 'Coastal Circulation Road Section 4-1,' which is being pursued with a targeted completion in November 2023, and encouraged the efforts of related personnel.

The 'Coastal Circulation Road Section 4-1' is a project that newly opens a 2km road from Changhu-ri, Hajeo-myeon to Inhwa-ri, Yangsa-myeon with an investment of 15.9 billion won. Currently, soft ground treatment and structural work are progressing smoothly, achieving over 120% of the planned progress rate.

Previously, 'Coastal Circulation Road Section 4' underwent basic design work initiated by Incheon City (General Construction Headquarters) in 2011, but the project had been in a stalled state for an extended period due to increased project costs from cultural property and environmental impact assessments and difficulties in securing the budget.

In response, Governor Yu directly implemented 'Coastal Circulation Road Section 4-1,' a project feasible as a priority undertaking of his seventh term of office, through coordination with Incheon City regarding basic design work, related permits and approvals, and main construction. Additionally, related administrative procedures including cultural property alteration permits, military review, landscape review, small-scale environmental and disaster impact assessments, and road zone designation notices were promptly completed, and main construction began in July of last year.

On this day, Governor Yu thoroughly surveyed various areas of the construction site and inspected overall progress and safety management measures.

Governor Yu Cheon-ho subsequently stated at a meeting with related parties, "When the coastal road route is completed, prior to the opening of the Kyeodong Bridge, economic revitalization of Changhuhang Port, which prospered as the first port, and balanced regional development are anticipated," and urged, "Make best efforts to promptly advance the remaining sections of Coastal Road Section 4 so that the region can lead development and achieve a new leap forward."
