<Anchor> The

Han River Diving Bridge has been controlled from the afternoon of yesterday (2nd), and from the dawn of this day, the eastern main road has also been fully controlled. Connect with reporters on site.

Reporter Kang Min-woo, what is the level of diving bridge now?

<Reporter> The

level of the diving bridge continued to change, and it began to lock again as you can see behind me.

Yesterday evening, not only the diving bridge but also the nearby Banpo Hangang Park were submerged in water.

Just an hour ago, the water level went down to 6.5m, the standard for submersibles, and cleaning vehicles were put in to clean the road surface.

However, as the torrential rains continued and the discharge amount of the Paldang Dam increased again, some sections began to flood again.

As it is predicted that the rainy season will continue in the central region by the 12th, related organizations such as the city of Seoul have moved electronic equipment to highlands in preparation for flooding of the park, and also announced that restrictions on the passage of diving bridges and Hangang Park will continue until this morning.

<Anchor> Please

tell us about the situation in other Seoul areas.

Yes, the discharge amount of the Paldang Dam, which directly affects the water level of the Han River, decreased by 5,600 tons per second, and then increased to around 7,000 tons again from 7:00.

Here, as the torrential downpour continued, many roads including the eastern arterial road were controlled.

Seoul Metropolitan Government said it controlled both vehicle entry from the Seongsu Junction on the Dongbu Expressway from 5:30 am.

This is due to the rise of the water level in Jungnangcheon due to rain that fell on the upper reaches of the Han River, such as Seoul.

In addition, the two-way control of Sacheon Bridge, Umyeon Bridge, and Yeongdong Bridge 1 was further controlled, but news has just been heard that traffic has resumed.

The Seoul city government said that the control section can be changed at any time according to changes in the water level of the Han River.
