Mayor Shinsangjin: "We Will Quickly Resolve All Bridge Hazards in Seongnam"

Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin is visiting Buljeonggyo and other locations on the morning of the 6th to inspect the local situation.

On the morning of the 6th, Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin conducted an emergency safety inspection of bridges and visited Sunaegyo, Buljeonggyo, and Geumgokgyo along the Tancheon River in sequence.

At the site, Mayor Shin promised, "We will simultaneously conduct safety diagnoses on multiple bridges to identify risk factors as quickly as possible and resolve them immediately."

He continued, "During the detailed inspection, please apply standards that comply with current regulations and the latest construction methods, and conduct safety inspections on all 211 bridges in the Seongnam area to fundamentally alleviate citizens' concerns."

Seongnam City had earlier initiated an emergency safety inspection of Sunaegyo, Buljeonggyo, and Geumgokgyo along the Tancheon River, which were constructed around 1993-1994, similar to Jeongjagyo where an accident occurred the previous day, due to concerns about subsidence and deformation.

The city plans to inspect the bridges for a week, checking for aging, cracks, and deformation, and will decide to reopen them for traffic once safety is confirmed.
