Yangpyeong County Advancing 'Namhanggang Riverbank Specialized Street Development Project'

[Suwon Ilbo=Um In-yong, Reporter] Yangpyeong County announced on the 20th that it is smoothly advancing the 'Namhanggang Riverbank Specialized Street Development Project' that links regional tourism resources with natural scenery.

The project aims to transform the area along the Namhanggang Riverbank spanning approximately 1.1km from Yanggeun Bridge near Yangpyeong Station to Yangpyeong Bridge into a multipurpose cultural tourism destination for residents and tourists to enjoy together by creating △scenic walking paths △cultural and art-themed streets △water-friendly and recreational spaces △nighttime landscape lighting facilities, and more.

Following the project's launch in January, the pile installation process—a foundational work for terrace construction—was safely completed by May, and the installation of the main facility, the 'Yangpyeong Watercolored Terrace,' is currently underway. The first-phase construction is expected to be completed by October, and the 'Yangpyeong Watercolored Terrace' will be opened to residents at that time.

Additionally, on October 26, the 'Yangpyeong Watercolored Terrace Festival' will be held centered on the 'Yangpyeong Watercolored Terrace.' Various events including a water-sound trail walking festival, terrace market, Yangpyeong Michelin-inspired food market, and terrace concert will take place. Through the Gyeonggi De Dream Urban Regeneration Project, the plan is to develop the Namhanggang Riverbank into a regional landmark and contribute to local economic revitalization and commercial district expansion.

The county plans to do its utmost in advancing the project to ensure safety and quality during the remaining construction period while maintaining seamless preparations for the festival.

County Governor Jeon Jin-seon stated, "The Namhanggang Riverbank Specialized Street Development Project is not merely a landscape improvement, but a comprehensive project integrating local culture, economy, and tourism," adding, "We will do our best to make this Yangpyeong's new face and a nationally renowned destination."
