Pyeongtaek City Gateway: Landmark Monument Installation Boosts City Image

667 Million Won Investment Creates Landscape Plaza in Front of Anseong IC

Pyeongtaek City (Mayor Kim Seon-ki) has invested a total of 667 million won to create a landscape plaza featuring a symbolic monument in front of the Anseong IC intersection on the Gyeongbu Expressway, a major gateway to the city, welcoming many visitors to Pyeongtaek who use the Gyeongbu Expressway's Anseong IC.

Due to the Anseong IC designation, Pyeongtaek has faced difficulties in raising awareness of the city. However, the installation of this monument is expected to clearly identify Pyeongtaek as a gateway and significantly improve the city's image.

The symbolic monument, which embodies "The Gateway of Opportunity, Winds of Change," represents Pyeongtaek's future vision of change blowing through the gateway of opportunity.

The "Gateway of Opportunity" symbolizes Pyeongtaek's position as a hub and gateway as the city leaps forward into becoming a first-class cultural city, marking Pyeongtaek's entrance. The "Winds of Change" symbolically express Pyeongtaek's bright future as it advances with hope through the winds of change.

The monument installation project for Pyeongtaek's gateway landscape plaza was completed in January this year after construction began in March of last year. The project features a monument measuring 16 meters in height, 12.7 meters in width, and 3.8 meters in depth within a landscape plaza covering 1,531 square meters.

At the center of the monument is a circular media wall with a diameter of 6.2 meters, which displays welcome messages and videos for Pyeongtaek City, informing drivers using the Anseong IC and other visitors about Pyeongtaek. Operations are conducted during peak traffic hours before and after sunset as part of energy conservation efforts.

A city official stated, "We expect this landscape plaza monument installation to play a significant role in promoting Pyeongtaek City as a gateway and in showcasing Pyeongtaek's growth into a competitive city with real capabilities as it advances toward the global stage,"
