Ganghwa County to Invest 4.3 Billion Won in Road Maintenance for Pleasant Road Environment

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County announced on the 18th that it will invest 4.3 billion won in the '2025 Road Maintenance Project' to create a safe and pleasant road environment.

The county conducted inspections on 289 legal roads, totaling 444㎞ within the jurisdiction in December of last year, and decided to maintain a total of 35 routes (83.7㎞), including △1 nationally supported local road (7.5㎞, 270 million won) △2 Incheon Metropolitan City roads (17.4㎞, 830 million won) △32 county and rural roads (58.8㎞, 3.2 billion won). The county plans to conduct intensive maintenance from January through May and promote it expeditiously.

Key maintenance tasks include potholes, sinkholes, resurfacing, repainting, and drainage maintenance caused by freeze-thaw cycles in winter and snow removal operations. From the 25th to the 30th (7 days), coinciding with the Lunar New Year holiday period, the county will establish and operate an emergency road repair task force to promptly respond to road inconvenience complaints and minimize difficulties for returning travelers.

Ganghwa County Governor Park Yong-chul said, "We will expeditiously promote projects so that county residents and visitors can use roads safely," and added, "Through continuous inspections and maintenance, we will do our best to establish smooth traffic flow and a safe road environment."
