[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 7th that it will break ground on the long-awaited 'Jangyu Passenger Terminal Construction Project' by Jangyu residents on the 8th.

The Jangyu Passenger Terminal is a private development project, with Samho DNT Co., Ltd. investing 84 billion KRW to complete the terminal and complex shopping mall by the end of 2023.

The terminal will have a site area of 3,952㎡ and a total floor area of 4,584㎡, consisting of four floors above ground and one basement level. It will include boarding and alighting areas, 18 berths, a car wash, retail facilities, and resident convenience facilities.

Until now, Jangyu residents have experienced significant inconvenience when using intercity and express buses due to the intercity bus stops being scattered across three locations in the area. However, once the terminal is completed, it is expected to provide convenient transportation and revitalize the local economy.

Mayor Heo Seong-gon said, "Congratulations on the groundbreaking of the Jangyu Passenger Terminal," and added, "I hope the terminal, which embodies the residents' wishes, will be completed promptly without a single safety accident, befitting Gimhae as an international safe city."
