Seosan City in South Chungcheong Province announced on the 4th that it is conducting a comprehensive inspection of forest roads to prevent safety accidents that may occur due to weakened roadbeds during the spring thaw.

The inspection covers 29 forest road routes in Seosan, totaling 89.77 kilometers. Until the 14th, the city plans to check for erosion and scouring of road and slope surfaces, as well as the condition of structures and drainage facilities.

For areas such as cut-and-fill slopes that are difficult to inspect visually, drones will be used to ensure thorough inspections.

The city will immediately address minor issues on site during the inspection, and for facilities that require repair or reinforcement, safety will be promptly secured based on expert advice.

Kim Kisoo, head of the city’s Forest Park Division, said, “Drone inspections using advanced equipment are excellent in minimizing blind spots and ensuring speed, so we plan to expand their application. We will continue to identify and implement measures to enhance the safety of citizens using forest roads.”
