This project will target a total of five routes: the exclusive and shared bicycle lanes along Sejong-daero (East and West), Sajik-ro, Cheonggyecheon-ro, Tongil-ro, and Songwol-gil.

Since June, the district has been inspecting the designated sections, resurfacing worn-out pavement, and upgrading the guidance system that was difficult to see at night and during rain. The construction is scheduled for completion in August.

The district plans to introduce self-illuminating traffic signs so that drivers and cyclists can clearly recognize each other even at night. In addition, safety facilities will be enhanced by adding road markers that reflect light and pictograms that provide directional and cautionary information.

On the shared pedestrian and bicycle path along Sejong-daero, partial resurfacing will be carried out, and self-illuminating traffic signs and pictograms will be installed. Sajik-ro will receive new self-illuminating traffic signs and repainted pavement. The section for road marker installation on Cheonggyecheon-ro will be extended, while pictograms will be added to Tongil-ro and Songwol-gil.

District Mayor Yoo Chanjong stated, "We expect that this maintenance will allow cyclists to ride through the city center with greater peace of mind," adding, "We will continue to expand safety facilities closely connected to citizens' daily lives and create a convenient and comfortable environment for both bicycle users and pedestrians."
