Yangju City Gains Momentum for Gwangsa–Mansong Road Construction with 1.45 Billion Won in Government Funding
Selected for Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Support Project for Areas Surrounding US Military Bases
Strengthening Connectivity Between Gwangsa-dong and Mansong-dong
Improved Traffic Distribution and Greater Convenience for Residents
Yangju City in Gyeonggi Province, led by Mayor Jeong Deokyoung, has secured 1.45 billion won in government funding to construct a new road connecting Gwangsa-dong and Mansong-dong.
On September 14, Yangju City announced that it had obtained the necessary government funding for the “Gwangsa–Mansong Road Construction Project” through the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s “Support Project for Areas Surrounding US Military Bases in Korea.”
This project aims to improve traffic flow and enhance connectivity between living areas in the Gwangsa-dong and Mansong-dong districts. The city expects that, once the new road is built, it will help distribute traffic from existing roads and make it easier for residents to travel.
In particular, the project aligns with the government’s goal of improving living conditions in areas surrounding US military bases and supporting balanced regional development.
Yangju City actively collaborated with National Assembly member Jeong Seongho, who represents the constituency, to emphasize the necessity and legitimacy of the project to the government during the funding process.
