The ‘Seonam-ri Urban Planning Road (Jung-ro 2-4) Expansion Construction’ is a project to open an urban planning road (L=560m, B=15m) in the area of 487-2, Seonam-ri, Eunhyeon-myeon within the jurisdiction.

It is scheduled for completion in 2025, and upon completion, it is expected to alleviate traffic inconveniences for road users and contribute to balanced regional development.

Additionally, the ‘Yangju 1-dong Complex Office Building’ will be a future-oriented complex office building combining administrative, business, and resident welfare facilities located around Yangju Station. The city explained that this construction project is expected to improve administrative work efficiency and resident satisfaction, as well as resolve parking issues that local residents have long experienced.

Furthermore, the ‘Installation of Safety Facilities on Gamaksan Sky Road Deck,’ ‘Deokgye-dong Underground Passage Flood Improvement Project,’ and ‘Replacement of Multipurpose (Crime Prevention) Old CCTV and System’ are projects aimed at ensuring citizens’ safety. Through securing disaster safety project funds this time, the city plans to eliminate concerns about safety accidents among residents and thoroughly prevent them.

Mayor Kang Su-hyun of Yangju City stated, “Due to the necessity of tight fiscal management caused by decreased tax revenue, securing government budgets such as special grants is very important. We will continue to make every effort to secure budgets through ongoing collaboration, visits, and proposals with related ministries so that various urgent projects and disaster safety projects essential to citizens can proceed without any setbacks.”
