Paldal-gu Ward Chief Kwon Chan-ho Inspects Major Road Construction Sites in Ward

[Suwon Ilbo, Reporter Seo Dong-young] Kwon Chan-ho, Ward Chief of Paldal-gu in Suwon, visited four major road construction sites within the ward on the 8th to inspect the progress of construction work.

Starting with the vicinity of 994-5 Ingye-dong, where asphalt road paving work is underway, he inspected the sidewalk block maintenance site at Dongseong Middle School Three-way Intersection and reviewed the dredging work progress for collection wells and drainage lines within the Hwasan Underground Passage.

He also checked the Suwon Stream Cooling Fog System installed at the Suwon Stream, Jidong Bridge, and Paldal Gate Rotary bus stop to prevent heat wave damage.

The 'cooling fog system' sprays mist through nozzles and mist poles to reduce surrounding temperature by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius, providing cooling effects as well as helping improve air quality by reducing fine dust, making it one of the heat wave response measures.

Ward Chief Kwon Chan-ho instructed officials to "proceed with projects in a timely manner to minimize inconvenience to citizens and thoroughly conduct advance safety checks in preparation for the coming summer's concentrated heavy rains and heat waves."
