en.Wedoany.com Reported - Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province will invest a total of 251.4 billion won to advance the Sunchang to Gupim local road expansion project and the Bujeon to Chilbo local road facility improvement project, respectively.

The Sunchang to Gupim local road expansion project involves a 9.14-kilometer section of Local Road No. 55 connecting Baeksan-ri, Sunchang-eup, Sunchang-gun, and Woljeong-ri, Gupim-myeon. This section will be widened from two lanes to four lanes, with simultaneous alignment optimization. The total project cost is 121.1 billion won, with construction scheduled to begin in the second half of this year and completion by 2031.

The Bujeon to Chilbo local road facility improvement project focuses on realigning a 10.92-kilometer section of Local Road No. 49 connecting Bujeon-dong, Jeongeup-si, and Siseon-ri, Chilbo-myeon. Due to the existing construction section's dense curves and narrow road surface, which pose high accident risks, the project will newly install 13 bridges and tunnels.

Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province stated that upon completion, the projects are expected to enhance regional transportation convenience and positively impact the local economy by improving tourism and industrial infrastructure. Choi Jeong-il, Director of the Construction and Transportation Bureau, noted that this project is not merely road expansion but also a core expansion of social overhead capital that will lead improvements in the region's economy, tourism, and living conditions. He added that construction progress will be accelerated to create a safe and convenient road environment.
