The city of Chuncheon in Gangwon Province (Mayor Yuk Donghan) announced that reinforcement work to enhance the slope stability of the trail section from the upper Samaksan Hosu Cable Car station to the skywalk will be completed on the 12th. The work focused on the area of slope loss behind the upper station and on sections of the trail where hazardous exposed rock masses were identified.

This reinforcement project was carried out preemptively following an in-depth internal safety inspection of the trail slopes in July last year, which concluded that additional rockfall protection nets and slope maintenance were needed. A total project budget of 1.3 billion won (700 million won in national funds and 600 million won in city funds) has been invested to conduct intensive maintenance work.

With the maintenance work completed before the Lunar New Year holiday, the safety of citizens using the cable car during the festive period is expected to be further enhanced.

An official from Chuncheon City stated, "It is meaningful that we have completed safety inspections and reinforcement of Samaksan Hosu Cable Car, one of Chuncheon’s leading tourist attractions, ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday," adding, "We will continue to do our best to make Chuncheon a safe tourist city that places the safety of citizens and visitors as its top priority."
