Mokpo City Opens Hadang Tongil-daero Overpass

No Safety Issues Found in Safety Precision Inspection... Removal of Banner Posts and Painting Repairs Conducted

[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do, has opened the Hadang Tongildaero overpass, which had been restricted for passage.

On the 10th of last month around 5 p.m., the city received a complaint about shaking detected on the overpass from the Mokpo Police Station and Fire Station control rooms. Following this, the city cooperated with related agencies to conduct an emergency inspection and prohibited pedestrian passage.

Although no special structural or safety abnormalities were found during the emergency inspection, the city restricted access to the overpass from November 14 to 28 to conduct a detailed safety diagnosis. Since there were no safety issues with the facility, the city decided to reopen it.

To minimize psychological anxiety among overpass users, the city plans to remove the banner stands on top of the overpass to reduce vibrations caused by wind. Additionally, in December, painting repairs will be carried out to improve aesthetics and prevent corrosion of major steel materials.

A city official stated, “We will do our best to minimize risk factors of road facilities to alleviate inconvenience and anxiety, and to establish safety measures for disaster accident prevention and risk factors.”
