<Anchor> As the

rain that rained on Seoul became less frequent, the flood advisory that had been given to the Hangang Bridge in 9 years was also lifted. As the water level of the Han River went down, it became possible to drive again on the main highways in Seoul. Our reporter is out on the diving bridge.

Reporter Jeong Ban-seok, the diving bridge is still locked, but the water level seems to have gone down.

<Reporter>

Yes, yesterday (6th), the water level of the diving bridge, which once exceeded 11.5m, has now gone down to 8.2m.

The road sign, which was completely submerged, also reappeared.

However, the vehicle will need to go down 2 m further to resume traffic.

The flood warning that was issued yesterday on the Hangang Bridge was released at 9 am.

The flood warning standard is 8.5m, but the water level at the Hangang Bridge is 5.6m.

The discharge of the Paldang Dam, which exceeded 18,000 tons per second yesterday morning, has also dropped to about 9,000 tons, which is now half the level.

<Anchor> As the

roads around the Han River were controlled, there were still many traffic jams since yesterday and today, what is the situation on your way home from Friday?

<Reporter>

Yes, traffic on major highways in downtown Seoul resumed one after another.

Traffic control to Gangbyeonbuk-ro was lifted at 8:30 a.m. at 6 am on the eastern arterial road and inner ring road.

At around 3:20 PM, Olympic Boulevard and the two-way operation at 6:45 PM Nodeul-gil also resumed.

However, Yeouido's upstream and downstream excursions are still under control.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government has expanded subways and buses this evening to prevent congestion.

It is better to use public transportation today as much as possible to avoid traffic jams caused by bypassing vehicles.
