Gwanggyo Road (Changhun Intersection to Gyeonggi Bridge section), which experiences severe traffic congestion on weekends from vehicles of hikers and tourists visiting Gwanggyo Mountain, will be expanded to a four-lane, two-way road (25m wide) by the end of next year.
According to Jangan-gu, the Gwanggyo Road expansion project completed land acquisition compensation in 2007 with 3.9 billion won invested. Design was completed in March, contractor selection was finalized in April, and construction has been underway since the 13th.
The first phase of the road expansion project between Education Office Intersection and Gyeonggi University Entrance involves widening a 840m-long road from 12-15m to 25m wide, from Changhun Intersection to Gyeonggi Bridge Entrance.
For the second phase construction section from Education Office Intersection to Changhun Intersection covering 400m, plans are in place to secure a budget of 2.94 billion won in compensation and 2.36 billion won in construction costs through investment review procedures to expand the 18m-wide road to 25m.
An official from Jangan-gu stated, "By prioritizing pedestrian-oriented rather than vehicle-centered development, we will create a bright and pleasant pedestrian environment that will function harmoniously with Gwanggyo Mountain and the Suwon Stream."
