Most of the dams in the Han River water system are forced to open the floodgates as heavy rains pour into the central part of Gyeonggi Province and central Gyeonggi Province for six days. In addition, from the night of the 5th, the water level of the Han River is rising faster as much rain falls in Seoul and other metropolitan areas. We connect with reporters who are out on the Han River Diving Bridge.

Reporter Sangmin Kim, it seems to be completely locked behind the Han River Diving Bridge.

Yes, the river was blowing fast at night, and at 7 am, the road sign that was visible at the top is now completely submerged.

The level of the diving bridge that continues to be in control for the fifth day is 11m, which is twice the pedestrian limit of 5.5m.

This is the highest number since 11m in July 2011. This is because the Soyanggang Dam, the highest peak in the North Korean River, opened floodgates in three years, and the upstream dams continuously increased the amount of discharge, and rain poured over the Seoul area overnight. .

In particular, the discharge amount of the Paldang Dam, which directly affects the water level of the Han River, also exceeded 18,000 tons per second, and the water level may rise further when it flows down the Han River.

Reporter Kim, many of the roads around the Han River were controlled during the night, so the morning commute to Seoul was quite crowded.

<Reporter>

Yes, it was controlled from 7:50 this morning to the eastern arterial road, the Olympic Boulevard, the inner ring road, and the riverside north road.

From the Dongjakdaegyo Bridge of Olympic-daero, the Yeomchang Naedokmok section has been fully controlled since last night, and the two-way traffic from the northern end of Wonhyo Bridge, Gangbyeonbuk-ro has been controlled.

In addition, vehicle traffic was controlled in the Seongsu Junction section from Majang Lamp on the inner ring road.

Likewise, the water level in all sections of the eastern arterial road has risen, so the section of Seongsu Junction on the Underground Underpass has been fully controlled.

Currently, 18 rivers, including Hongjecheon, Dobongcheon, and Dorimcheon are controlled, and from 5:50 am, flood warnings have been issued around the Daegok Bridge in Tancheon, Seoul.

Be careful not only the residents of Songpa-gu, Gangnam-gu, but also all the residents of the river.
