After the inspections, the province will immediately address any issues requiring urgent repairs identified through self-inspections and joint inspections, and will establish follow-up management plans for tasks that require mid- to long-term improvement, ensuring ongoing management.

Kim Youngseop, Director of Road Policy at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Through these inspections, we will ensure that both citizens and workers can feel safe during the Chuseok holiday," adding, "We will do our utmost to enhance the safety of road construction sites not managed by the central government and to provide residents with a safer and more pleasant road environment."
