Long Monsoon and Guerrilla Rainstorms... Ulsan City Heals Damaged Roads with New Pavement

Maintenance of 'Metropolitan Cities and Provinces' in the Second Half of the Year by November

4 Billion KRW Invested, 22 Routes Renovated

Ulsan City is embarking on a major repair project for damaged arterial roads.

The Ulsan City Comprehensive Construction Headquarters announced on the 5th that it will carry out repaving and sidewalk maintenance work on major arterial roads in the city by the end of November to repair roads damaged by the monsoon and typhoons and to provide a safe road environment.

This year, due to the prolonged monsoon, heavy rainfall, and frequent guerrilla-style downpours, the occurrence of potholes has increased significantly compared to previous years.

Among a total of 2,561 road-related complaints received through the National Petition System from January to August, 1,266 cases, accounting for 49%, were related to potholes.

Ulsan City will invest 4.3 billion KRW in road repaving and sidewalk maintenance, double the 2.3 billion KRW spent in the first half of the year on 11 routes.

The construction sections include ▲ repaving of 18 routes such as Munsu-ro (total length 13.76 km) with a budget of 3.4 billion KRW ▲ sidewalk maintenance on 4 routes such as Guyeong-ro (total length 2.1 km) with a budget of 900 million KRW.

Considering that these are major arterial roads with heavy traffic, the construction will be carried out at night on weekdays to minimize inconvenience to citizens.

Seo Dae-sung, head of the Comprehensive Construction Headquarters, said, “We will continue preventive inspections and repairs of aging and poor road facilities to provide citizens with a safe and pleasant road environment.”

Currently, the roads managed by Ulsan City total 456 routes, reaching 562 km in length, which is much longer than the total length of the Gyeongbu Expressway (415 km).
