[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seodaemun-gu (Mayor Moon Seok-jin) strengthened its snow removal measures from level 1 to level 2 at 7:20 PM on the 6th to minimize citizen inconvenience caused by heavy snowfall, deploying personnel and equipment to carry out snow removal work throughout the night.

In particular, the district operated heated roads at 12 locations including Hong Eun 2-dong Garden Complex and Hongje 3-dong Ant Village, as well as 14 automatic brine spraying devices around the Seodaemun Regional Self-Sufficiency Center in Yeonhui-dong.

In addition to snow removal vehicles, dump trucks, street sweepers, and multipurpose road management vehicles, 21 small calcium chloride spreaders that can be loaded onto 1-ton trucks were operated for rapid snow removal on side streets.

Blowers were also used for snow removal on narrow roads and walking paths where vehicle access was difficult.

Furthermore, a dedicated system was immediately activated for 14 vulnerable snowfall points including Muakjae Hill, Yeonhui-dong Hill, and the intersection in front of Myongji University, as well as a responsibility system for snow removal on pedestrian overpasses and underground walkways.

Snow removal materials secured in preparation for heavy snowfall, such as calcium chloride, salt, eco-friendly de-icing agents, and brine solution, were concentrated on major arterial roads, multi-level intersections, bridges, and tunnels.

Following the issuance of the level 2 snow removal measure, 544 district office employees dispersed to their assigned areas and carried out snow removal work together with staff from the local community centers.

Mayor Moon Seok-jin also toured snowfall-vulnerable areas within the district to inspect the snow removal status and cleared snow alongside the employees.

Mayor Moon Seok-jin stated, “We will operate the Snow Removal Headquarters until March 15 this year, strengthening cooperation with related organizations and deploying staff for snow removal work according to the forecasted snowfall amount. We also ask residents to cooperate by clearing snow in front of their homes and stores.”
