(CHEONGJU = Newsis) The North Chungcheong Province sets to remodel the Gagyeong bus terminal market, the province’s most developed and have the most floating populations among the local traditional markets.

Terminal market merchant committee will hold the groundbreaking ceremony on 23 December for the remodeling of the Gagyeong terminal market. Mayor of Cheongju Han Bum-duk, market merchants and local residents will also join the ceremony.

The arcade replacement project is taken place as the part of the environmental improvement project for the traditional markets and it is expected to be completed by June 2014.
