Traffic Control at First Mandeok Tunnel for Installation of an Automatic Control System for Fire-Linked Smoke Control Facilities

내용

Busan Metropolitan City’s Construction Safety Testing Office announced that traffic restrictions will be implemented in both directions of the First Mandeok Tunnel between Oncheon-dong and Mandeok-dong from October 12 to 17 for the installation of an automatic control system for fire-linked smoke control facilities.

The “automatic control system for fire-linked smoke control facilities” is a system that automatically activates smoke control equipment in conjunction with a fire alarm signal when a fire occurs in a tunnel, thereby preventing the spread of smoke and toxic gases.

The project is being carried out to provide citizens with a safer road environment through the installation of the system, and the construction work will be undertaken by Joytech Co., Ltd.

Construction will be carried out outside peak commuting hours, when traffic congestion is expected, and both directions of the First Mandeok Tunnel between Oncheon-dong and Mandeok-dong will be closed. The road will be fully closed for six hours, from 23:00 on each closure date until 05:00 the following day, and motorists must use alternative routes, including the Second Mandeok Tunnel, during these hours.

Jin Bong-sang, Head of the Construction Safety Testing Office, said, “We will minimize inconvenience to citizens by shortening the traffic-control period through thorough safety management and swift construction work,” adding, “We ask for the public’s active cooperation to ensure that the work proceeds smoothly.”
