Ulsan City to Promote Customized Maintenance Projects... Reducing Budget Waste and Ensuring Safety

No Full-Scale Construction Planned for Subway Line 1 Section

Ulsan City is promoting customized maintenance work to prevent budget waste while ensuring the safety of road users.

The Ulsan General Construction Headquarters announced on the 20th that, for the planned route of Ulsan Urban Railway (Tram) Line 1 (11.015km, from Taehwagang Station in Nam-gu through Samsan-ro, Munsu-ro, and Daehak-ro), it will not carry out comprehensive maintenance such as road resurfacing or sidewalk replacement. Instead, it plans to implement small-scale, site-specific maintenance work focused on user safety.

In relation to this, it was decided to change some sections of the construction area for the '2024 First Half Metropolitan City Sidewalk Maintenance Project,' excluding the section with the worst pavement condition in front of the Okdong Military Base.

This measure is intended to prevent budget waste from overlapping construction, as there is a high possibility that comprehensive sidewalk and roadway work will be carried out within the project area during the future construction of Tram Line 1.

Ulsan City has stated its policy to prioritize user safety while devising ways to use the budget efficiently.

Additionally, for systematic road management, the city is making efforts to maintain Ulsan's roads in an organized manner by carrying out related projects such as the 'Paved Road Management System Maintenance Service' and the 'Ulsan Metropolitan City Sidewalk Installation and Maintenance Plan Service.'

Lee Jaegon, head of the General Construction Headquarters, said, "We hope that Samsan-ro, Munsu-ro, and Daehak-ro, which are major arterial roads in Ulsan, will become the center of Ulsan's transportation with the construction of the tram," and added, "Although we are not conducting comprehensive maintenance work, we will do our best to ensure the safety of citizens using these roads through regular patrols and prompt maintenance."
