On the 9th Morning, District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi Held Situation Assessment Meeting, Upgraded Snow Removal Measures to Level 2... Snow Removal on Major Side Roads and Road Heating System Activated

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) took swift action in response to the heavy snow advisory that went into effect early on the 9th.

In anticipation of heavy snowfall from the morning of the 9th, the district maintained an emergency duty system overnight starting at 11 PM the previous night with 95 staff members. To ensure the safety of residents on their way to work, 28 pieces of equipment were deployed early in the morning to spread de-icing agents on major roads and other areas.

At 9 AM, Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi presided over a snow response situation assessment meeting, raising the snow removal measures to level 2 and strengthening the response. Approximately 460 staff members were mobilized to carry out snow removal on side streets and other areas.

They also carefully inspected vulnerable sections such as the Manguri and Saeugae hill roads and underpasses. Storage boxes containing calcium chloride, salt, and eco-friendly de-icing agents installed at vulnerable points were checked, and road heating cables installed on slopes were operated to ensure the safety of vehicles and pedestrians. The total length of road heating cables installed in the district is 1,950 meters.

Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi said, “This year, there have been more frequent snow reports than usual, raising concerns about residents’ safety,” and instructed all district departments to “establish comprehensive snow removal measures and prepare thoroughly to ensure residents’ safety and minimize traffic inconvenience.” He also urged residents to actively participate in clearing snow in front of their homes and shops and to familiarize themselves with snow response guidelines to stay safe.

Meanwhile, since November, the district has been operating a ‘Comprehensive Winter Plan’ to help residents spend the winter safely and warmly. In particular, snow removal measures have been strengthened by adding road heating cables, sidewalk snow removal equipment, and snow removal bases.
