[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The road connecting Sanggae to Maeam, which links the Industrial Road and Nambu Sunhwan Road?two of the busiest traffic routes in Ulsan?via the shortest distance, has been opened.
Ulsan City announced that the "Congested Road Improvement Project" for this section has been completed and that an opening ceremony will be held on the 28th.
On that day at 3 p.m., Mayor Song Cheol-ho, local members of the National Assembly, and residents will attend the "Sanggae to Maeam Congested Road Improvement Project Opening Ceremony" at the entrance of Seonam Tunnel in Seonam-dong, Nam-gu.
