In this evaluation, the city received high scores for 24-hour pothole repairs, investment in road repaving, and underground utility projects. As an outstanding institution, the city secured a commendation for the institution and staff along with a road project support fund of 50 million KRW.

Meanwhile, to prepare for heavy snowfall and freezing during winter, the city has deployed 3 excavators, 23 15-ton dump trucks, and 15 1-ton snow removal vehicles, and is also promoting projects such as installing heating cables and brine spraying devices.

A city official stated, "Although it is difficult to manage many routes with limited personnel, we will do our best to ensure that citizens can use the roads safely and conveniently."
