Namyangju City Establishes Annual Legal Road Management Plan...Intensive Management for 2,870 Road Sections

"From Potholes to Flood Prevention"
Namyangju City to Fully Implement Systematic Road Maintenance in 2026

Namyangju City in Gyeonggi Province announced on February 12 that it has established the "2026 Annual Legal Road Management Plan" for 2,870 legal road sections within the city to ensure citizen safety and create a pleasant road environment, and will begin systematic road management.

Joo Gwangdeok, mayor of Namyangju, is delivering remarks at the "Safe City Namyangju Vision Proclamation Ceremony." Provided by Namyangju City.

The purpose of this plan is to prevent safety accidents and minimize inconvenience for citizens by carrying out preemptive inspections and prompt maintenance during periods when road safety is vulnerable, such as the thawing season and the rainy season.

The city handled 4,243 civil complaints related to legal roads in 2025. It carried out 1,864 emergency road repairs, including pothole repairs, and 997 road facility repairs, and improved road safety and prevented flooding through preemptive maintenance of catch basins before the rainy season, as well as weeding and tree maintenance.

In 2026, the city plans to strengthen routine patrols and carry out prompt repairs by using high-performance water-curing asphalt concrete in sections where potholes frequently occur during the thawing season. In addition, it will strengthen preemptive maintenance of drainage facilities such as catch basins before the rainy season and focus on managing sections that are prone to repeated flooding.

In addition, the city will promote a "Road Adoption Program" (tentatively named Road Safety Guardians) in which citizens directly participate. By encouraging voluntary management of the road environment along major routes in the 16 towns, townships, and neighborhoods, the city plans to eliminate blind spots in road management and establish a region-specific road management system.

Joo Kwangdeok, mayor of Namyangju, said, "Through systematic road management and citizen participation, we can preemptively prevent safety accidents and flood damage," adding, "We will create a pleasant road environment that citizens can truly feel."
