Repair Work on Retaining Wall in Yaksu-dong, Jung-gu and Residential Fences in Myeongdong

Jung-gu Completes Repair Work on Four Retaining Walls and Fences

Seoul's Jung-gu District Office (Mayor Kim Gil-seong) has safely and sturdily repaired four locations with old retaining walls and fences.

Since January this year, the district identified retaining walls and fences in residential areas that posed safety risks to residents and completed the repair work by the end of last month.

The fence and retaining wall in Sindang 5-dong were repaired using a district budget of 30 million KRW. Cracked fences were rebuilt solidly, and railings were installed along the edges of stairs to ensure safe access. For the retaining wall, damaged concrete parts were removed, and mortar was reinforced to increase strength.

The retaining wall in Yaksu-dong and the residential area fence in Myeong-dong were repaired using a budget of 63 million KRW obtained through the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s safety-vulnerable facility repair and reinforcement project. In Yaksu-dong, the old fence and tangled trees were removed, and rockfall prevention nets and new fences were installed. The fence along the pedestrian walkway in the Myeong-dong residential area was reinforced with carbon fiber sheets and freshly painted.

The district also discovered a fence at risk of cracking in Pildong and urgently demolished it and installed a fence by the end of last month.

Mayor Kim Gil-seong stated, “We will continue to thoroughly inspect all retaining walls and fences in Jung-gu to ensure they remain safe and resilient against heavy rain and typhoons.”
