Ganghwa County Progresses Well on Coastal Road Construction Between Wolseonpo and Sangyong...Targeting Opening Next May

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County announced on the 4th that the "Wolseonpo to Sangyong Coastal Road Development Project," the greatest long-cherished project of the Gyeodong area, is progressing smoothly with a target for early opening in May next year.

The project is a coastal road totaling 2.17km in length connecting Gyeodong Bridge (Bongso-ri) with Wolseonpo (Sangyong-ri) with a total project cost of 9.3 billion won. Construction began in April 2021, and the overall progress rate currently exceeds 115% compared to the plan, progressing smoothly.

Accordingly, while the original completion target was scheduled for March 2025, the project duration has been shortened by approximately 10 months to complete early in May next year.

When the coastal road, which serves as a bridgehead of the "Gyeodong East-West Peace Road," opens, the "Wolseonpo to Gyeodong Bridge" section will be reachable within 5 minutes. In addition, it is expected that distinctive new tourism infrastructure can be built in connection with waterfront ecosystems along the coast.

Ganghwa County Governor Yu Cheon-ho stated, "If the Wolseonpo to Sangyong coastal road opens early, traffic infrastructure in Ganghwa's northern border area linked with the Daeryong Market and Hwagae Garden and residential conditions for local residents are expected to improve significantly," adding "We will do our best going forward to build a well-connected road environment."
