MSIT finalises 2026 overhead cable maintenance plan, to push Clean-Zone pilot
South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT finalised its 2026 overhead cable maintenance plan after holding the 38th coordination meeting, it said on Monday. The plan covers 407 maintenance zones in 63 local governments, including all 25 districts of Seoul, and involves work on 130,910 utility poles. Allocation will reflect the share of public complaints, adding more work to areas with frequent complaints. The ministry will also launch a Clean-Zone pilot to prevent re-cluttering after maintenance.
