Namyangju City Secures 14,474 Tons of De-Icing Agents... Prepares for Winter Road Icing
Emergency duty system to operate for four months starting Nov. 15
10 forward bases for snow and ice response
Close monitoring of mountain passes and areas at risk of black ice
Eco-friendly de-icing agents for water source protection zones
Namyangju City in Gyeonggi Province, led by Mayor Choi Hyeon-deok, has secured 14,474 tons of de-icing agents and will activate a region-by-region snow removal response system in preparation for heavy snowfall and icy roads this winter.
Namyangju City said on October 29 that it had established a plan to address winter road hazards for 2026-2027 and would operate an emergency duty system for four months, from November 15 through March 15, 2027.
The city will operate 10 forward bases for snow and ice response in areas including Pyeongnae, Hwado and Jinjeop so crews can begin snow removal promptly when it snows. It plans to focus on deploying eco-friendly de-icing agents in water source protection zones, including Joan-myeon near Paldang Lake, to reduce water pollution. It has also completed advance inspections of key equipment, including snow removal vehicles and de-icing agent spreaders.
The city will closely monitor areas at risk of black ice, a thin layer of ice that forms on roads, as well as major mountain passes. It will operate six automatic brine spraying systems and one road heating system, and use real-time CCTV and GPS monitoring to check road conditions and the progress of snow removal work.
The city will place 170 snow removal boxes and sandbags at major mountain passes and other locations. It will also work with the police, fire services, military units and volunteer snow removal groups to address traffic disruptions and safety accidents caused by heavy snowfall. It plans to encourage residents to take part in clearing snow from in front of their homes and businesses.
