This inspection was conducted over approximately 14 days from February 23 to March 12 to prevent safety accidents during the thawing season. The main focus was on checking for any structural abnormalities in road facilities and the management status of ancillary facilities within Hyohaeng District.

The inspection covered a total of 72 sites, including 30 major road facilities such as bridges, underpasses, and pedestrian overpasses, as well as 42 small-scale public facilities in Hyohaeng District. The road structure team of the Safety and Construction Division formed an in-house inspection team and carried out a visual inspection of all facilities.

The inspection results showed that the overall safety condition of the facilities was generally satisfactory, with no significant defects such as cracks or subsidence in major structural members detected.

However, minor damages such as potholes, curb, and railing breakage were found in some facilities. Proactive repairs are currently underway using the annual maintenance contract.

In addition, Hyohaeng District plans to complete the repair work on the elevator at the Bongdam Overpass by April, and will continue to conduct regular safety inspections to prepare for potential road structure anomalies caused by weather and climate changes.

In particular, the district will carry out intensive inspections of disaster prevention and drainage facilities in underpasses in April and May to prepare for heavy rainfall.

Choi Byungjoo, head of the Hyohaeng District Office, stated, "We will continue to do our utmost to create a safe road environment where residents can use the roads with confidence, through proactive facility management and regular inspections."
