Korea Expressway Corporation is playing a major role in the recovery from heavy rain damage in the Gyeongbuk region. The latest equipment owned by the corporation, such as high-pressure water trucks and cleaning vehicles, is demonstrating its power.


On the 28th, Gyeongbuk Province introduced that thanks to the equipment and manpower support from Korea Expressway Corporation, recovery efforts are accelerating in the northern Gyeongbuk area affected by this extreme heavy rain.
