Icheon Completes Construction of Bokha Stream Stepping Stones

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] Icheon City announced on the 19th that it has successfully completed construction of stepping stones on the Bokha Stream (a national waterway) and has redesigned the space as a safe and convenient waterfront recreation area for citizens.

The newly installed stepping stones replace an existing wooden bridge that connected Anheung-dong and Bupyeol-eup in the Bokha Stream crossing section. The design incorporates harmony with nature, securing both landscape improvement and accessibility of the Bokha Stream.

In particular, anti-slip treatment has been applied to the stepping stones to allow citizens to experience the stream more closely, and the installation was designed with eco-friendly principles that do not obstruct water flow, considering ecological stability and aesthetics.

Meanwhile, Icheon City's Bokha Stream project is becoming established as a "healing river in the urban center" where any citizen can enjoy nature near the water.

Mayor Kim Kyung-hee stated, "The installation of stepping stones on the Bokha Stream has greatly improved pedestrian convenience and accessibility for citizens," and added, "Going forward, we will continue to make efforts to create eco-friendly and safe river environments."
